Inner fender covers
I am looking for a solution to the splotchy unattractive OEM inner fender covers on my C5.
I don't want to start down the road of an entire engine dress-up kit, I just want to cover the inner fenders.
I also am not caring for chrome or stainless steel much. I am leaning toward painted because of a lack of another option.
Ideally I would like to just have a nice set of smooth or waffled black covers that are easy to clean and are durable but are not glossy like I bought them off of a guy with a black car.
Any comments or suggestions that you may have would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I really like these.
If you want waffle pattern to match the tanks, check out Mid-America. If you like smooth-body colored painted, check out RPI Designs.
Many, many, options. All comes down to your individual taste!
BTW - these fender covers are real CF per Pat!

Just buy a set of the aftermarket fender covers from vendors like Mid-America, Ecklers, and many others. You can get them to match the color of the car or a contrasting color, or you can have them painted any color you want. The look good and are easy to install.
If you want to know where I got my unpainted ones from, PM me and I'll let you know.
