I like the C5 cover.
Both ebay ads don't say anything about a different back cover.
If I can't trim it and/or do something to make it fit I'll return it.

I had found that one awhile back. In the link i provided to the page it says fits the c5 zr edition rear bumper. Even extreme dimensions posted that in the thread.

Still in the mold making process. Making sure everything is fitting up tight before making the molds.

I believe the manufacturer will start out making the fiberglass version then progress to the carbon fiber.

Sorry you feel that way. Pete was the only vendor to offer and step up and take on this venture. Put the money up for the molds, take care of the sales and shipping. I just was not set up to do this.The actual manufacturer was recommended buy another very respected vendor on here to make these. Pete was also affiliated with them as well so this worked out best for me. I just wanted this to be available for other's. I have always had great dealings with Pete and feel confidant that the product that is being made here in the US will be top quality.
