Default Flared c5 Fenders

Good evening, does anyone have any experience with L5 Motorsports? Trying to get some flared rears for my 03.

Thanks so much!

Do a search using the term "L5 Motorsports" and you should get a few hits.

You can also look in the Transactions Feedback section for any good/bad feedback on the vendor.

DON'T DO IT!!!! WALK AWAY NOW!!!!

I'll just be blunt about it, there is a FB group for C5's and one poor guy had to fight tooth and nail and he's not getting his money back. The owner of L5 or whatever she is (Sue) insisted he pay via cash transfer or cashier cheques and said her payment system was down. He sent the money and now he's getting the run around as its been months and still no parts, but unfortunately has no recourse to get his money back...

lets continue, another FB member had to contact his credit card company when he found erroneous charges on his card for utility bill payments. He contacted Sue who said she would fix the issue as her daughter had gotten a hold of his number thinking it was Sue's card (excuse of course) and used it by mistake. The gentleman had to get his CC company involved to get his issue fixed.

The stories go on, and on, and if you look up her address on google maps, it's some place in the middle of the sticks with a big garage. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this idiot. You want flares, message quickz06 and he'll hook you up!

And occasionally I'll read on here a post by so and so who says they got their stuff without issue. Is it L5 being sly and posing as others? I do know a local guy who ordered spats and got them, no problem, last summer.....

Mine fits great, yea I had to trim, but it'll always better to trim material to achieve the fitment you want, than to have to add material, also the areas you trim, are area you don't see, like where it tucks under the roof.

Exactly!

The other option is give your money to L5 and “hope” you get a set.

could you show us some pics where you trimmed? Are all pieces produced exactly the same? or would someone have to trim " here n there" ?

I'm going to buy yours once I have all my questions sorted out. What size and specs of wheels are you running out back in that black C5 Z photo.

I want to run c6 Z brakes all around and get the biggest dish possible without being stupid ugly. That black C5 Z with unpainted rear fenders seems to have the tire wheel fitment I like...

Thanks

For the Z06 near the pillar that piece that tucks under needs to be trimmed. The Z and vert fenders are almost identical, that piece that goes under the pillar is a little longer on the vert. Otherwise that’s the only difference.
