Take a look at my sign. These are the C6Z06 on the rear. I just recently seen a post about the front splash guard issues being worked out. Do a search, they looked pretty good

Just spoke with APSIS again and they said they are supposed to have their 3rd prototype molds in next week and plan to ship within a month what they call their Z06 Style Mud Flaps for the C5.

I put Altec's on, front and rear last year. The front ones are off now, they have been dragging, hitting speed bumps etc. and are cracked up pretty badly. This must put a decent load on the fender, bouncing off speed bumps, so, off come the front ones!

Oh, I'm stock height, not lowered.
