Do you think these would match up very well with the factory non flared C5 fenders?

being that they are tapered the way the Z06 guards are, i would think they would work just as well with standard quarter panels.

Quote - These guards have been such a popular mod, they have even been mimicked by forum vendors who sell kits with no modifying needed.

Nicely done.... Can someone chime in with the forum vendor who offers the C6Z06 guards w/o a modification?

I certainly like the addition, take my opinion with a grain of salt though as I designed and built my flares that way from the start.
