I bought the stock Flares for a Z06 and with a little imagination they were on. I really like the molded look.

 

I'd say a lot depends on the kind of roads you drive on. In New England with the sand/small gravel that put down over the winter I guarantee you will destroy the paint on the bottom half of your panels. Been there done that on several cars. Yea sure you can go out and have them repainted once a year if it bothers you. For me the choice was easy. I wanted to keep my vette for awhile and keep it looking as good as possible. Without some type of protection the stuff on these roads will sand blast those fender panels in very few miles. My 06 still looks brand new on the bottom side of my fenders so I made the right choice for me....

 

looks great, I sell the front only for guys like you

 

How much imagination? Any cutting or what? About how long to install?

 

No cutting on the car. I just removed all of the braces and plastic supports on the inside of the Flare (which would have been needed to install on a Z06). I used an exacto blade and a screwdriver, were needed. This gives the Flare a little more flex (so it can contour to the std C6). Once all the inside flare support is gone, I just cleaned up the fender edge (to allow the ahesive tape on the flare to stick), removed two existing screws on the bottom of the fender (take a look and you will see what I mean), attached the Flare on the bottom and then just pushed the Flare against the fender to make it a snug fit. The installation did require me to use 1 self-threading screw on the inside of the wheel-well (this is the most IMPORTANT step). I had to push and hold the Flare up against the fender to make sure it was tight, then put the scew in. The stock Flare does not come with the "Top Clip", so you need to buy 2 of those too. (that secures the skinny edge of the Flare to the top of the Wheel-well). The first side took me about an hour, while I figured out what to remove from the inside of the Flare, (which also included fighting my nervs!), the second side took me 15 mins. Here are a couple of other pics. (and I do love the way they came out).

 

Did you ever consider painting them body color? I like the look of your molded style too. It looks more factory and not just a generic addon. So many cars have come with them body color, it might really look good that way.

 

I went with the molded guards from Alltec. You can get them at many of the vette product vendors.

 

What are the part numbers for those Z06 rear splash guards?

 

PN- 15818636 & 15818637 (Left & Right) List price is $48.51 (ea)
Also you need the 2 retainer clips that go on the very top of the Flare (1 for each side) PN-15895394 List price is $3.39 (ea)
(All parts were for a 2007 Z06)

 

Thanks. But I can't find the 15895394 clip. I'm looking on gmpartsdirect.com. Can you double check the number maybe?

Thanks.

 

That is the number that was on my invoice, it might just be one of those little items you have to get at the Dealer.

 

No worries. Thanks for your help. By the way, do you have any additional pictures showing how much material you removed and where? Anything else you can share will help me avoid figuring out something that's already been figured out.

 

I did aspis and they look pretty good. they blend into the fender real nice.

 

Not for me.

 

I don't have any more pictures than what I shared above in this Post, but I can say you just want to remove ALL of the support braces and metal (held on by tape) hangers on the "inside" of the Flare/Modling. I used a dremmel tool first, but found an Exacto knife worked better when I did the second Flare.

 

I think they look good and may do the same thing. I also have yellow.
