I would like to find wheel deflectors for my Z51 that is coming, kinda like the ones from my old C6 Grand sport. the wheel deflectors that are in front of the front wheels. I see RPI has something similar call ZR7 Stage II wheel deflectors, but I read somewhere that they will only work with the ZR7 Stage II Splitter. it seems to me it would just sit behind any splitter that you bolt on like the C6 Grand Sport did. Does anyone know where I can find something like this?
Thanks for the reply guys, ACS front wheel deflectors only work with there front splitter. If I got the Z06 ones I would have to do major cutting and modifying to get them to work. Don't even know how to get those to work right. Surprised no one makes any that can work with any splitter, like the GS ones

I would like one made out of black plastic like the GM ones on the C6 GS.
Will you be using wheel spacers or custom wheels with aggressive offsets? Wheel deflectors are generally used to cover wheels/tires that would otherwise be hanging out from the fender. If you add deflectors in front of stock offset wheels it might look odd, giving kind of a "sunken" appearance to the wheels/tires.

Very good point ZL-1, but I have seen the ACS and the ZR7 Stage II front splitters that come with them and it makes the hole piece look complete. some of the splitters I have seen without it look like they are missing something.

Those pictures do look pretty good, the deflectors are smaller than I imagined, they're not far out from the tires. I can see where you might want them if you use a splitter that is wider than the front bumper. I wish these ones didn't have the visible step where they go below the splitter though. I have 8mm spacers behind stock wheels, lowered 3/4", and 3/4 degree negative camber, so the splitter and deflectors pictured would work well.

check out the ZR7 Stage II Ones, I think they don't have a step, will have to check.
I think the front fenders on the Z06 are the same as the Stingray, and only the back fenders are flared, so the stock extensions should fit.
I just put the Level 1 Z06 front spoiler on my Stingray and it fits perfectly.
The Z06 ones seem a little too wide, also they curve back instead of landing flush with the splitter. and I think if you cut these down to fit just the front there would not be enough support to hold them on the car correctly since I think they also fasten in the back. If you used the entire Z06 wheel deflector they would stick out to far and make your tires look like they were sunken in. Modifying it is the only way, but I'm not convinced one could make them look right or work right, once you cut plastic, to smooth the edges and make the cut area black like the rest of the plastic..... that seems like a tough one.
been looking these over for a while....just not convinced that they will look as good on a non Z
They really don't even look good on the Z, but it is a matter of functionality. I would only install them if they were needed to cover wider tires. The base front splitter however, does look good on the base Stingray!

Exactly my thoughts! They don't look good on the Z! Very "JC Whitney" IMHO
