Can the fender wheel well splash guard from a Z06 fit the stock C6 coupe wheel openings? Seems like that's the way to go if it works! Need Your Input.....thanks:

Good question Ed, I just asked the same question back in the original thread. Maybe if their thread is back on top, then they'll see it and respond.

Yeah, I also used the above excellent thread as a guide. What a great forum for help on projects like this!
In addition to the tape, I also did a couple of other things for attachment/sealing. When ordering the flaps, I also got some of those push-pins from GM (most auto parts stores have a selection too). After I had the flap in place, I drilled and installed a couple of these pins about half way up the inside edge of the flap (attach to the inner fender). Because the flap doesn't lay perfectly flat on the inner fender, I anticipated this would be a place that road crap would accumulate and bleed out, so I laid a bead of clear silicone in there. Just inside the inside edge of the flap, top to bottom. I did this before inserting the pins, but after drilling.
This extra stuff may not be necessary for a long-lasting install, but heck, it couldn't hurt either....
As far as durability, it's held up well for the 2 months they've been on. Sadly though, the vette's been in winter lay-up since Nov, so I guess it may be a little early to say for sure. Spring can't come soon enough!

Also if you go this route, I sell just my front splash guards since the Z06 don't work in the front and the front gets the worst damage.LINK
