So what zhopper did was install front factory pieces to the rear? I'd be interested in what changes (holes drilled...) need to be made to the car?

It would be ideal if someone made something similar, that covers the entire body color painted inside circumference of the wheel well. And required little to no modification to the car.

Im understanding he used these front flares on the rear. I haven't seen anything out there yet specifically for the rear, but we will keep our eyes open for that

Looks like he took the same ones that are on the front on the rear.

Correct - they don't quite fit they way they come. It took over 10 hours of patience, cutting, slicing, bending and molding them to make them work. But the result is great if you have wider tires.

Sold as a 4 piece set by this Supporting Vendor, list price $899 but they discount a good chunk off. Don't know anything about the pieces except that they are listed there. They make similar pieces for C6Z in carbon fiber.

You know I look at my new Z and just don't see the need for this . The car looks awesome as is and the rear wheels are inside the well. Just doesn't look right to me with rear lips. But to each his own, I guess.

With the stock wheels, yes. In my case, the rear wheels stick out more than one inch compare to the stock wheels.

LOL! Yeah, this guy gets it.

The spats on the front are a most unfortunate part of an amazing vehicle.

To me it looks like two sets of mud flaps front and rear installed backwards.
