corvette creationz flared quarters thread.......
We need an offical corvette creationz thread, where people can see all of the rides. I've seen a lot of pics and they look great. Post up pics of your ride with details, like rear tire size and rear suspension mods (lower on stock bolts, coil overs...etc).
thanks...
thanks...

Looks great....it hard to tell in the pic but, you are running splash guards ??
So thats roughly a 27" tire, whats the gap measure from the top of the tire to the edge of the flare ?? Also, could you measure the gap 90* forward and 90* aft (I am trying to see how parabolic the wheel opening is.
thanks.....and more pics would be great !!

Parabolic: English Inflections, Is a rising and falling curve. a curve that is similar in shape to the rising and falling path of an object that is thrown into the air............

1) shape of the opening/lip meeting the shape of the tire
2) flares overall shape and how it fits the lines of the C5
3) price and quality for that price
Im ready to pull the trigger on a set....but weighing my options.
1) Corvette Creation
2) L5
3) TPE
There are tons of pics on L5's and TPE's.....that is why I wanted a thread on Corvette Creations with info on the suspension/stance. So I can make a informed and educated decision.
Quick Z (vender) has a lot of pics in his threads but does not have any info as far as suspensions. The pics I've seen look good but borderline 4x4-ish, would love to see a set of Corvette creation on a slammed C5.
