Do these screens look right?
Installed these last night. Notice how the fit is at the corners. Is this the way they fit? Thanks for any help with this. This may be the way they all look, just wanted some advice. Thanks again!!

They look (based on screen material) like the ones I have. Mine seemed to fit better based on if they were straight in the opening, how far pushed back, etc.
I got mine from http://www.vetteshop.cc/ and they had GM logo on the bag (if i remember correctly) so I figr'd they were genuine.

Mine don't have that gap. Are they the genuine GM Z06 screens? Do you have them pushed back as far as they need to go? The GM screens should fit snug in the opening when installed. Did you use velcro? Maybe the velcro connection is keeping you from getting them seated properly.
When I was investigating buying my screens, I read where some people were having fitment issues with the aftermarket ones.

Mine seem to fit a bit better in the corner. The velcro can be a problem.

My GM screens completely fill up the opening. May want to ensure the screens are pressed back into the opening all the way.

If you went the velcro route, you won't be able to get them as far back to get a better fit.

Those don't look OEM to me - you can still see the fascia paint behind the bezel which you can't with an OEM screen because the bezel extends all the way into the opening. Your's looks substantially shorter. Also, the gap is minimized when you push the screen into the opening as far as it will go. My OEM screens fit pretty well.
