Sweet. I just ordered some myself.
What did you do so your rims would fit right?

fender flares
The flares are from L-5 I found a seller on XXXX who had them for $800+ and shipping. I did the install and paint cost just over $600. The wheels were $250 each and the tires are flaken and were $600. You can buy them at east coast corvettes, ebay and directly from L-5. now I am adding C6 z06 rear guards, and i want coilovers so i can get rid of the stock adjustable suspension.

Looks great, congrats.
Pics look like they were taken from a phone though.
We need some more/better pics!

Are those the ZO6 replica? I've been looking at those in that size and was wondering how much there going to stick out. Have you had a chance to put them on and what type and size tires are you going with.

No Coilovers. Lowering on the longer bolts.
It now sits actually lower that this picture because this picture was taken when I just lower it.

What do you do for the inner wheel-well liners? Cut and section or do they come with wider liners? Tom
