Default Wider fender extensions

Does anyone sell an aftermarket fender sextension that might allow for a little wider wheel with out the whole Zo6 clone thing? I really would like something that protects the bottoms of the fenders, similar to the Zo6 but for a base model c6

Yes thats it, and maybe something a little more subtle for the front of the rear and front fender as well.

Slickshoe's car is pretty neat - you do have to trim your fenders under these extensions though to give clearance for the wider wheels - so there is no turning back if you put these on your car...

You can run Z06 size tires on a stock body C6 using an 11" rear rim with the proper offsets. CCW (wheels) is a master at setting these up for C6 owners. I used those on the street for years. Specter Works makes rear fender flares for the C6 if you want to run even wider rear wheels without using Z06 quarter panels. Splash guards are sold by several different vendors.
