Thanks bro. Your car looks sick as well. Always loved the CCWs on it. I agree with the L5 statement

You'll likely fight a bad fit on the CC.

I used the CC's fiberglass. My body shop said the fit was OK, they just commented on the thinness of the fiberglass. We did have to trim the inside lip of the fender arch. It is almost an inch and to avoid any possible tire rub and damage on compression of the suspension, it was trimmed to about a quarter of an inch in total. My fronts are L5's and they had no issues.

well after reading through this entire thread i believe its the fiber glass models from CC that are a hit or miss. The L5 and CC will both need work.

Just had my wide-body rears installed. Had the whole car repainted while it was at the body shop getting the fenders. John at CCW designed the 19" RTS Mono Block Weld Wheels for it. As far as I know there are only 2 sets of these wheels, this set and a set on a C6 Z06. Next is get some Carbon Fiber ZR1 rockers and have them smoked and cleared and installed.

Default Splash Guards

I have CC rear quarters, and had given the body shop C6 Z06 rear splash guards to install. They said there was no way to modify them to fit the CC rears. I know I have seen others with the CC rears and the C6Z guards. So I will attempt to do this myself but was wondering if anyone had a "how to" or had pointers. Thanks.

Yes they will fit. I have fit a pair to my L5's and a set to some TPE T2's. I will find the DIY thread and post

I like all three choices of wide rear quarters for the C5. Each one makes a defined difference with the right combination of wheels and suspension setup. I have the L5's with C6Z rear brake ducts.

I used the Breathless Performance brake ducts and had them flush mounted via a look from EvilTwins coupe.
