They Are I'm doing the same thing. Picked mine up from Gene at Fred Beans and will start the "trimming" process for the fit. Best looking flaps you can get.

What is Fred Bean selling them for? How much modding has to be done to look like pictures in thread? Thanks.

Color matched would also probably look good.

Also, where did you get that rear deck spoiler? I like the way it blends into the rear deck at the ends. Is it mounted with double sided tape. It looks like a similar design I've seen before, but I can't remember the tuner.
thanks,
john

as far as work involved..... about 2hrs a side taking my time of coarse make sure you lay down some masking tape so you do scratch up the quarter while your fitting it up.. I used files to start with and fine tuned with sandpaper-emery-cloth

the new Z has a straighter line at the bottom of the quarter you have to trim -sand a curve in the flair to it fit and trim off some of the stock z mounting tabs you will understand when you see it
