I put the ZO6 rears on mine before I heard of the G.M.'S. I had to do some trimming on the back side with a utility knife. They now fit very good. I am satisfied with tehm and I am very picky!

These flaps look good but do they extend enough to keep the dirt and paint chips at bay?

I think that's a chrome piece...?



"C6 Chrome Valance Trim
Item #:
C6VLTRM


C6 rear valance trim kit. This flexible, chrome piece is a very nice addition to the lower valance of the C6. Looks like it came from the factory once installed. Simply peel and stick to install. Instructions are included. Installation takes 5 minutes."

Walt I disagree, they have to be that wide to protect the body. I think they look nice!

The GM Z06 splash guards look to thin
to offer much in the way of protection
from road rash and sandblasting.

Also the Apsis Z06 Style Long Splash Guards
look better and offer great protection.

Got mine today. Fronts are on and look great.

Now I have to take off the back wheels. Do I buy a floor jack, use another cars scissor jack or what. Any ideas other than taking it in.

If you buy a floor jack make sure it's a low profile jack. Do a search there are some good threads here. I bought the omega jack and the cross beam to lift from the Preferred lifting points. I've used it to change fluids, exhaust, rotors and Splash guards.
