I think there may even be a federal law against doing anything to de-face a corvette in that way. What's the world coming to...?

Picture this:
8 or 10 of us get the Sam Flaps. We install them on the rear to the left & right of the pipes just touching the ground.
All go to the Cruise-In and line dem baby's up with a big banner atop that sez:

At the L.A. Auto Show, the GM rep showing the Z06 refered to the flaps or whatever as "Gurney Lips". Dan must be proud.

Ok I just read all the posts and I cannot believe 1st someone is driving a C6 in the snow and C. they want to put freaking mud flaps on the back of the damn thing? While your at it, you should get like a 12 inch rancho lift kit, and maybe put some 40" super swampers on that bitch. Total waste of American Muscle. Every time i see a C6, i am very impressed, but if I saw one driving off with MUD FLAPS i might be tempted to throw rocks at it.

I have not seen them, yet, for the C6.
This is what they look like on my C5's (see sig pics or site for better look).
I had mine painted to the body color (MagRed1 and LMB). I am in favor of these, period.

Ecklers has them for the C5 in matching body colors. I had them on my car when I lived at my ranch. Had to drive about 1/2 mile each way on gravel several times a day. They worked great in protecting the body from stones, etc. If I still lived in the country, they would be the first mod for my C6.

but . . . IMO, having the body flared at the wheel wells (ala C3) would be a lot more appealing and practical than the C6 Z06 implementation of extending the wheel well liners out beyond the body.
