what modifications were necessary to install?
What modifications did u have to do to install the spats on your stingray with stage 3 aero?
i have the stage 3 aero and love how you car looks. Did u get the spats from RPI?
Really it only took a little force and gentle bending to get them to fit which actually makes for a tight fit. The only real modification I had to do is on the mud flap where I cut out like an L-Shape so that they Spat sat flush whereas it would otherwise sit on top and look weird. Other than that it was pretty straightforward but I also cut a slit in the wheel liner for the tab of the spat to slide into. I am out of town but I think I made a template of how I cut the mud flap and will check on Monday when I get home... My entire Carbon Fiber Aero Setup is from APR which that all they do is Carbon Fiber but other vendors do Carbon Flash.

The alternative to adding spats is to buy a set of wheels with the widths/offsets that allow you to run wider rubber. I bought a used set of 20"/21" HRE's from a forum member here that allow me to run Pirelli 285/375 on my '14 Z51 Stingray (tires came with the wheels). I had it completely lowered on stock bolts so had to raise it a bit to avoid the minimum rub I was getting in the rear but the next set of tires going on the rear are 325's so will allow me to drop it all the way again.
I had 4 custom fitted and painted carbon flash, I personally like the look and can care less what any of the "corvette experts" have to say. I am running 20x12 rear wheels with no issues and 19x10 front no issues
How did you fit the rear on and the fronts what kind of mods are those the oem gm ones for the front you modded to the back ? Text me 4077413035
Im wanting to add them to the rear of my GS to allow for a wider/more aggressive stance in the rear. Has anyone made those modifications to them yet to fit?
It has been done and you need the search function on Spats and you will need to comb through the different pages as I recall people posting rear spats on a Z06.

Tried that. I keep finding Z06 front spats on rear wheels of a stingray. Nothing about them on Z06s/GS.
