What are L5 FENDERS
This was on a separate topic with this info. I did a search and found nothing referring to L5 FENDERS.

Yes I saw this one and the first photograph illustrates them as well. The way this picture was taken/ the composition is almost perfect, if not so.
What is the average cost, painting, removing stock fenders and so on?
Thank you guys and anybody else that posts pictures from this point forward.

Figure the price as below.
to be done right..each panel prepped, painted and finished (installed) = 600.00, total 1200.00
Fender cost is extra.
I have a ton more but forgot what folder I put them in and too lazy to look for em....so thats the one on the front page of my PB....Im Out

So these go over the existing fenders? What is between them and the stock fenders? What about the added weight? About how much does the edge of the flared part exceed the stock fender?
Are they removable?
So, the costs listed by JPM doesn't include the price of purchasing them?
Obviously I have no idea about these

The flare is about 2.5" out from the stock fenders but you can go up to about 4" when ordering and the weight is the same as a stock fender.
The price of 1200.00 is just for paint and install and does not include the price of the fender package. You might want to keep in mind you will need new wheels and tires to fill out the new flares. My rear wheels and tires ran well over 2500.00 (JUST THE REARS)

The L5's replace the OEM fenders they DONT go over them!

Man, we are getting into some serious money here. My car is basically stock with the exception of the C6 wheels I have that required full 1" spacers on the rear. I my slightly as much as 1/4” out from the edge of the fender on tires that I have now with less than 1,000 miles on them. It's a long story, bait and switch thing that I was moronic enough to go for. I really like the look of the tire matching the edge of the fender as close as possible.

There is nothing sexier than a flared out corvette done tastefully

This is one Mod that has to be done correctly or it will look like AZZ!
Its not a mod for shallow pockets of cutting corners so think it through before you move forward with it. It takes lots of planning to get the correct look and make them flow with the rest of the car and other cosmetic body mods you have or will do.

I would probably spend the extra $ for a blower that may cost 2x as much if even that.
