I have one of their "Ducktail Spoiler, rear fascias". I have very mixed feelings about it. The finish quality of the part wasn't too bad, but the "angle" of the spoiler portion of the fascia isn't consistent, from one side to the other. In other words, the drivers side of the spoiler is lower than the passengers side. The obvious question is, "Why didn't you notice this, before you installed it"?
Yes, that's a good question, but like many people, I didn't want to tie the car up for several weeks, while I removed the OE fascia, test fit the new fascia, then sent the new fascia out to be painted, wait for it to come back, etc, etc. I ASSUMED that it would fit properly, and was made properly, so I simply "ran with it", and am now less than happy with it.
Depending on what you're purchasing, YMMV.........
What are you looking to buy ? I am having the wide fenders painted and installed right now
I ordered the fiberglass ones but due to the wait I was sent the carbon fiber ones and they looked good. My paint guy hasn’t said anything to me about them yet but lots of guys have used them with good results. I went with them because all the holes are already drilled in the fenders and other brands are not.
There is no way I would order anything from them. I ordered a duckbill rear cover from them and it took 3 months longer to get than what I was told it would take to get it, and it went downhill from there I had it shipped to my body shop and when they got it called me right away telling me to come look at it that thing had so many waves in it, when I called Corvette Creationz I got their standard answer of put it in the sun for a couple hours, Well I live in Phoenix and it was August so it was 110-115 everyday so that was no help they said it was the worst one they had seen and had no ideas on how to correct this so I asked for a refund and was told to send pictures of the bumper destroyed for proof which I did the same day this is where they stopped corresponding to me, so I went to paypal and asked for a refund from them giving them all correspondence including that they would send me a refund after 2 months he convinced paypal that I didn't know how to install it and they refused the refund. So then I went through the Credit Card company for my refund which took another 2 months before I finally received it all in all this process took over 10 months and I only received after the credit card company forced him to do the right thing.
I have delt with CC over the years. I had some
problems with carbon fiber items Pete sent me
a couple that did not measure up. I sent them back.
I can honestly say that he made good. So, in the
end A for service. I would use CC again.
Good luck
I also have the CC Ducktail rear fascia. I love the concept, but the quality and fitment leaves a little bit to be desired. Like Leadfoot4 mine is just a tad taller on the passenger side, but in all fairness, I never noticed that until he told me about his and I actually measured it. The drivers side fitment is perfect, but the passenger side isn't. The gap is a little bit more and it doesn't meet up evenly like it should at the wheel well with the fender at the bottom.The wrinkles across the top where it was folded in the box never completely came out, and there are some waves in the middle. No car show judges have ever mentioned anything to me about it, but I see the issues.It looks very cool, but it definitely isn't what I consider show quality.
Mine wasn't so bad that I ever considered trying to get a refund, but if I have an opportunity to ever get anything as stylish with better quality and fitment, I would consider a change.
I personally just don't prefer stick on spoilers, and I don't like the recessed area around the taillights on the Tigershark rear fascia and no room for my backup lights. Otherwise, I would have gotten a Tigershark.
For me, it kind of comes down availability of choices, and out of what is currently available, the Ducktail look is my favorite. It just isn't perfect.
Over the years I have ordered a carbon fiber front splitter, carbon fiber side skirts, and carbon fiber rear fenders from Pete at Corvette Creationz. No issues with the splitter, side skirts, or fenders as far as damage or defects go. Splitter has been on the car over 5 years, bought the side skirts about 3 years ago and had them on for a while but eventually took them off because they were a bit too low for me. My most recent order was the carbon fiber fenders. I placed my order on September 25 2021 and received them on April 5th 2022. I was initially promised an end of October delivery, then November, then December. The date kept getting pushed back. Each time I messaged Pete he would reply and give an update so it's not like he was trying to avoid or ignore me. Not sure why they kept getting pushed back,.but he did have some sets get damage. I actually installed my fenders today. Passenger side was a really great fit, right out of the box they lined up pretty good. Only took about an hour to do the passenger side. The driver's side had issues with the gas cap. The cap would rub when closing and would close too tight, pressing the button wouldn't release the cap. Had to trim a piece of the fiberglass (the fenders are fiberglass with a carbon fiber overlay) to get it to close right. I usually do all my own installs and repairs and one thing to remember is that aftermarket body parts like hoods, fenders, and bumpers won't always fit like oem. Overall I am happy with all the products I purchased, really love the look of the fenders though.

have had 3 splitters, one set of side skirts and a rear diffuser all in carbon fiber. The splitter and side skirts were easy DIY in the driveway. The rear diffuser took some massaging at a body shop but eventually was good.
I have bought several things from CC over the years. Side skirts, still on the car, rear spoiler, removed, and most recently a replica Tiger Shark front splitter. I also had one of the original run of urethane diffusers. The front splitter and the side skirts fit perfectly, the rear spoiler, not so much. The diffuser fit great at first, but then the bottoms warped as a result of heat from mufflers. Pete was willing to replace it, but I never followed up on it because I ended up going with a different rear bumper. As mentioned in other replies, Pete is great to work with. Sometimes things that are not in stock and have to be created take time, and most of that is out of Pete's control, but he'll be strait with you and I find their prices are in line, and even a little less that what's available in other places for our cars. The best thing to keep in mind, is that you get what you pay for. The fitment and build on a thousand dollar hood is not going to be the same as a $2000 hood. Make your choices on what you can afford and what you are willing to accept.

What size rear tire and spacer did you end up going with ? I have the same set up and getting the fenders installed and painted now

I have 325-30 Hankook tires and using a 1 inch hub centric spacer. I just need to lower my car, will probably just lower on stock bolts for now though.
