There was a thread about someone putting the new Z06 rear flaps on a C-5. I thought they looked pretty good.

i have to admit at first i thought mud flaps on anything but a truck...??!! - but after looking at cirrus's picture, they're not as horrible as i thought, although there 'still is a social stigma attatched.

OEM C6 Z06 splash guards.
