C5 Splash Guard
I recently picked up an '01 C5 coupe and would like to install front and rear splash guards. I've read almost every post in regards to C5 guards and the modded C6 guard looks the best to me. There are several pics of the rear, but no front pics. Has anyone used the C6 guards on the C5 front?

I considered the L5 guards, but I was concerned about the road debris wear on them.

C6 ZO6 flares on my C5.
Have to rework (file & shape) ZO6 ones to fit , but. no big deal. Seem to remember had to cut some excess off too.
My mistake. These are Eckler flares.The ZO6's are on my rear.
Sorry.
The C6 fronts would not adapt to the C5.

I have the Lewis Five Splash Guards installed front and rear.
The fit is near perfect without any modification.
They have been on my O4 vert for this entire summer (2,500 miles) with no sign of wear.
They are made of molded fiberglass using black resin so no chip color shows if a chip occurs.
They are copied from the C6 design and look very similar.
I believe they are the best out there.
