Does anyone make a Z06 style splash guard for the standard C6? I was looking at them on a new Z06 at the Charlotte International Auto Show today and they look great. But, I know the fenders are different and just wondered if there were any available for our cars.

Currently no, some are taking the Z06 fender inserts and cutting them to fit the C6. The main problem is installed on the C6 the edge rests on the ouside fender and will cause a chafe line over time. Also modifing the Z06 inserts only solve the back and not the front. The front take the most damage and need protection the most. There is one set on ebay many have purchased and they cover back and front.

Thanks. I'm not really having any problems yet at 6000 miles but thought they would be a good mod and do some good over time. I'll just wait and I'm sure something will come out.

Have you gone out and looked closely with a light Unless you have a street sweeper in front of you the C6 gets blasted.

Yeah I've been converted too. I didn't want to fit them but after seeing what the sand blasting did to my C5 I fitted the front ones only.
The back are not so important. I used that clear plastic 3M adhesive on the rear fender wheel edges.
