If you can't easily find a solution, another way to add flaring to the front would be c7 Z06 liners/spats. From what I've read, it's not too difficult but the look might not be for everyone.

I would add the c7 spats if somebody actually produced them. Too bad nobody does....😥

I was working on some a while back mainly to cover wider tires for the track. These pics were just prototypes and were actually still just foam. I still need to do the fronts, I figured especially back then, that people on here would rip on them. but I think they could be done to look good and even cover a little wheel gap with the ride height properly set up for the track without drop spindles.

Would definitely make changes on the second try. I was hoping K.I.T.T. Would do them so I wouldn't have to.

You and me both. I would love a small fender flare. The 2" flares offered by others are too big for what I want.

I also would like something that could "bolt" on rather than replacing the entire fender.

I wonder if the C7 front spats would work on the rear of the C5 too?
