Rear fender flare kit to match the front??? What do you think?
One thing that bothers me is the rear doesn't have flares to match the front. So I bought a extra front and just did a basic mockup to give a idea of how a rear kit would look. I'm hoping a vendor here can see would make the car look much better if we had a rear 1 piece kit to match something like the front. Sorry for my hack job but was trying to get a idea. Even gives car a illusion it's lower.

I think the designer's did well on the z06. I'm leaving my car as is!

Oh boy...I'm thinking I'm going to get flamed for this!
I like the OP's idea. If for no other reason, spats on the rear wheel wells would protect the paint on the inside of the lip. My Z07's Cup2 tires were throwing road debris and blasting the inside of the lips of the rear fenders. I had Xpel wrapped around them to stop the damage.
Do I love tacked on black plastic? NOPE! But I'll take spats over road abrasives blasting body paint.
Be nice !

You mean like this? I added them to mine because the new wheels have an offset of about 1 inch, so the addition of the flares was a must. Now in person, the front ones at least don't look like an after thought. However, I am not sure they look good with the stock setup

Sorry I didn't take any shots with the flares installed from the rear, but they do look good. Actually they totally look as if they were stock with the new wheels. I have an early flight this morning. I will try taking some good outside shots from different angles.

I know what you mean. I had the same thought when I saw the first c7 z06 pics. It would look better if the side skirt stuck out like the zr1's did.
Just a side note.. I'd love to see liberty walk build a c7 z06 wide body. I'd never do it but I want to see it just for kicks.
