Default Z06 Fender Guards

Does anyone know if the Z06 Fender guards will fit on a non Z06 Stingray?

If you mean splashguards, they are the same.

Does the front facing screw hole fit under the bumper screw?

Did you have to cut any off the back?

From the pics above, it looks like they do work on a non-Z06 C7 Stingray, however it looks a little odd as the wheels are too small to fill the space. The Z06 has bigger front wheels with wider tires. Sort of looks out of place with the smaller, non-Z06 wheel/tire package.

Thanks for the reply, I have the Z51 package so I am wondering is that will help the look?

No. I'm with MSG on this one. I've seen a Z51 with these and they look wrong for the reasons stated.

I was looking at them too, but they are too big and don't fit well in my opinion. Too bad because the price is right, the other fender flares I've seen are in the $1,600-$1,800 range.

I'm sure you might be able to find those for a little less if you're so inclined to.

OK, great feedback. I think I will hold off on this mod. On another note, can anyone tell me how the RPI front skirt fit. I have seen them but they appear to raise up on the ends. It looks like they are narrow on the ends.

I think both the Z06 and Stingray Z51 have 19" wheels, however the Z06 has wider tires and a different offset that allows the wheels to have a concave face and larger lip. The skinnier Z51 wheels/tires look out of place with these fender spats IMO.
