Default Rear Inner Fender Lining

My right cracked as I ran too tall tires (that came with the car) and the car was too low. The left cracked this morning. I need to raise the damn car and run better shocks.... we have crap roads....

I am wondering if these look good and undamaged to you guys?:




And is there anything else I need to get?

I have a C5 FRC, are there difference between the coupe/vert. No idea what this one is from.

The top one looks damaged on the upper right. The lower one is hard to tell at the picture angle - there may be some damage on the lower right portion of the liner.

Since you have an FRC (non-Z06), there should be no difference in the liners from a coupe/vert. The Z06 has cutouts for the rear brake ducts, but when I bought one as a replacement you had to cut the hole out (lines were provided), so even that one would work.

I doubt that the fender liners are different for any of the models of the C5. I think I have removed mine twice in the course of adding soundproofing material.

As for that damaged area - if it were me I would see if I could patch it. There are a variety of 2 part epoxies for plastic; 3M has more adhesives than you can imagine. Overlap the damaged area with your patch (maybe material from another fender liner. A heat gun will come in handy. This kind of stuff is a PITA, but rewarding once completed.
Or you could check with VetteNuts.
Good luck
