Default Splash Guard Question

Has anyone tried modifying these C6 splash guards to fit a C5

They come as laminated or Carbon Fibre

I like the idea of the splash guards but find some to be a bit big looking. I think these would work just fine.
Has anyone tackled these

I bought C5 carbon splash guards from L5 Motorsports years ago, not sure they still make them or not.

I had C6 guards on my Z, Both ends needed modification, but I believe 1 end needed more. Not sure where I got them, but they looked great, just took my time.

Just got these from Apsis and very happy with the quality and ease of installation. They are made for the c5. A little expensive but quality wise very good.
