and it's also painted. Who in that cluster of a bureaucracy thought it was okay just not paint some body panels? It would be one thing if they were painted carbon flash.
I like the C7Z and think it's a great car but honestly, the spats have always been a criticism of mine. To me, they just look like a cheap shortcut GM took when finishing the car. Coulda done much better.
Ok I guess their are a lot of current C7 Z06 owners that don't like their spats. So it is not just non Z06 guys hating on the spats but I still like mine. I LOOK AT IT AS ANOTHER BLACK EXTERIOR PIECE TO GO ALONG WITH MY OTHER BLACK ACCENTS ON MY Z06.

At the end of the day if your happy with what it is, then that’s fine.
I do believe GM realized how much they messed up by simply not having a fully flared fender from the start and I pretty much guarantee you’ll never see them again on future Corvettes.

No, it's an unpainted, raw piece of plastic that does not match the shiny metallic black (carbon flash) accents
Actually, they match the black accents of the rubber tires. Just don't put too much tire shine on or your tires will match the carbon flash better than the spats.

Funny I thought I needed a small amount of black toward the rear. Did not know I was getting while top fender vents!
So I added a Jake medallions to go with my Jack center wheel caps and Jake valve steam caps!
Note they are perpendicular to the earth, just the camera angle!
Stage 3 Winglets and ACS Splash Guards Help Integrate the Spats, IMO.
Yep, have to accept the Jakes you can get! Jake started with the C5-R and really the C7 Jake is a bit of a poser - but is acceptable! Have both.
Note, Jake Center Caps come with Black or Gray background as these that match my wheels.

In that I can agree. Sort of like the rubber front end with chrome rear bumpers on the 1973. At least they knew better than using add on black rubber spats.
they don't necessarily look bad, but I think many are put off by the fact that they should not have been used...was it really not possible for the designers to make the fenders just a tiny bit larger...like they finally did for the ZR1. Seriously now...
