C6 splash guards install guide for c5

Ive searched for the guide to modify the c6 splash guards for c5's and cant seem to find it. Anyone still have the walkthrough for what is done to mod the c6 guards to install on a c5?

I've done it twice, and it's just a matter of Dremeling some of the lower contours to fit snugly. Don't depend only on the double stick tape.

I just did it as well, only I didn't paint it to match mine. Can you do that to the front as well? I have to drive over gravel, and I am sick of losing paint.

I doubt the C6 Z06 rear splash guards will work on the front of the C5 but I guess you could try. Shape of the front fenders where the guards would go is very different than that of the rear fenders.

I agree, I am looking for some options. Any ideas? Thank you, I think the black looks good too.

Get the GM c6 front splash guards from Cultrag. I got all 4 of mine from them for both cars.

The C6Z rear guards work just fine on the front of a C5. Basically do it the same way as you did the back ones. I cut mine so they are thinner compared to the back.
