Search for L5 or Lewis Five motorsports here on the board and you will find what you need.

I don't like the look of the flares without those fender guards (splash guards?), are those from a C6Z06? How hard was it to fit them?

Thanks in advance

Do the C5 World Challenge body parts bolt right up. All the pictures I am seeing show a fender that also has a flared rocker as well. I am looking for a flared quarter, but want one that will bolt right up. I have 335s going on the rear. they stick out 3/4 inch. Not looking to go with L5s due to having to use a spacer for them to look right.

spacers are needed when using wheels that are made for another car (e.g. OEM C6 Z06 wheels).

if you get a set of aftermarket wheels that are designed to be wider with the correct offsets (such as a 19x13), then you wouldn't need spacers.

i run spacers because the wheels i chose to run are designed for a c6z. if i was running a custom set of CCWs, i would have ordered some that already have the extra clearance built in to the wheel, so no spacer would be necessary.
