Welcome to the forum!

Try searching for mud flaps and other variations. I got the cheap ones from Mid America Designs.

There's a newer post on modifying the OEM rear C6 flaps to fit the C5. I found the link below - scroll down the thread to see some pics.

There's another thread showing you how to modify them somewhere, keep trying. The sun is out and I gotta go!

These are the mudflaps from MidAmerica. Easy to install and have really done the job for protecting the paint. I like the black as it blends in with the tires. Let me know if you have questions.

that thread is in the c6 section and is about modifying the guards to a base c6.

there are threads for modifying them to a c5. search the archives.

Mid Americas version






Just be careful when driving at high speed on "wavy" roads. They will scrape the ground ESPECIALLY if your car is lowered. I broke my LF guard & have to get a new pair now. They sell them in pairs for $39.99/set

Hey guys, those flaps from mid america look like the ticket. I have a confession to make, I HAVE TO TRAVEL DOWN A MILE OF GRAVEL NAT'L
FOREST ROAD TO GET TO PAVEMENT. When I brought the Corvette home, the road was kinda rough because hunting season was just winding up, and the local hunters like travelling 70 on the road. So changing my oil, I was pulling gravel out of my front subframe. I love my house, and it's not likely the Fed's will pave my road anytime soon, (so many cruise missles to lob, so little time) so mudflaps are where I need to be. Are there any others beside the midamerica and C-6 to look at. I'm leaning towards the mid america units. BTW, y'all, when the road gets alot of potholes, I take my Kubota tractor, refill, scrape and re-grade the road so my Corvette and lowered Mustang don't have to.
As I tell my wife, "God has a sense of humor"!

Try Ecklers. I run a set from them on my car - no drilling required. The mount using existing screws and for the rear use a large band clamp that goes around the mufflers.
