Default Need Help With C6Z06 Splash Guards

Have purchased a set of L5 fender flares and the Z06 splash guards for my C5. My body shop (good shop but they don't do a lot of mods) aren't sure how to fabricate the splash guards (just can't say mud flap ) to attach it to the auto. The vendor I purchased from had no directions. Can anyone give me some help that I can pass on to my shop?

TIA
Phil

Will do, but after the body mods are completed (L5 fender flares, Specter Werks rear facia, and ACI front spoil) it is going to take about 5weeks to get the new wheels built. Waiting for quarter panels to be in place for the wheel fit measurement. Like a kid at Christmas

Personally, I'd fork up the extra dough for the Apsis ones if they were identical to the factory styling, but they just don't look as nice, IMO. (hint, hint)

Check the APSIS site and look at the installation instructions....it looks like they are using C6 Z06 mudguards on the front and rear of the C5????
