I see what you're saying and it makes sense. I'll have it rounded off before molds are made.

*edit* Lol, when these are done they'll visually kill those L5's IMO!!

The part I find nearly impossible to do when I was making my own flares is how do they now match the other side exactly to the first one?

There must be some tricks on how to do it but I cant figure it out

Lol, that's why I leave it to the pros

Exactly, I mean everyone has different taste, but I always thought it looked like an afterthought. Either that or there wasn't another option...well now there will be...a much better option

Oh, not to get off topic but once these are done and we get a few sets out there (where people can see the quality) I'll be starting the TPE style rear fenders with these guys.

Those should be a perfect match for these new front fenders!

They are sanding that back edge smooth, they agreed that it should have been smooth. Hopefully I'll get pics before it goes into the mold stage.

Now there will always be a little piece of FYRARMS in every fender sold. LOL Great job making these available to the C5 crowd! Looking forward to the finished pieces!!!

I hope to have an actual set done this week. I will update with pics.

With that said. I think earlier I said $899 shipped, that should have been $899 plus shipping. I know guys want as cheap as possible, but with us trying to step up on quality, the low prices will be a thing of the past. Of course at the end of the day with way less money for finish work and paint it evens out.

I plan on doing the first 10 of these for $899 plus shipping, after that they are going to $999 plus shipping. I've already listed them for $999 on my Facebook hope you guys can understand but I think once these get out there the quality will speak for themselves.

I will pay the price for OEM fitment. Will you guaranty OEM
fitment?
Thanks.

Yes, my guys are guaranteeing OEM fitment. Also to give you guys an idea, the carbon is all carbon with no fiberglass backing. I have a set of their Engine Bay covers on my C7 and they are super light and look great

Imo they shouldn't copy the l5s. It is of poor taste. If you like the l5 buy l5, dont ask someone else to copy them.
