I like the way they look even on the stock fenders. To the op if you asked where to get mudflaps(even though technically they are the same thing) this thread would of got ugly quick. I have seen it a few times. So for you

I have the Apsis front splash guards, ACI side skirts, C6ZR1 front/rear splash guards & C6Z06 rear splash guards. To fit the Apsis front splash guards, I had to recontour the side skirts. I then repainted the side skirts in flat black from torch red.

Yes, if you passed the car towed on a trailer. I remember seeing your torch red car with the black stripes. You have an outstandingly nice car.
Below is a pix of your car in the boardwalk parade.

It looks like yours are the best ones for me but can't find them. I checked on the GM house parts site and didn't see any SG's listed. Are you saying that the bas model C6 SG's will fit my C5? Thanks Doug

another update: Have not heard anything from this company since I sent back the incorrect set of SG. What's going on with this company?
