I just received mine which I ordered through a CF Supporting Vendor.

However, I don't have a jack or a torque wrench, nor any experience in jacking up my C6, I was wondering if anybody would be willing to assist me, just a thought. Here are the installation instructions to give an idea of what is involved:

"Raise the front of the vehicle (use jack stands) or support on a lift according to the owners manual.Remove the front wheel and remove the black plastic push in retainers that secure the inner wheel well closeout panel.Position the closeout panel down ward to gain access to the side vent deflector shield.The side vent deflector is secured to the inside of the fender with double sided tape.Dislodge the side vent deflector from the inner fender.Position the stainless steel side cove screen in place to become familiar with the fit.Prep the mounting surfase with the supplied alcohol swabs.Allow the prepped surface to dry at least 5 minutes before mounting the screen.Once the area is prepped,remove the double sided stick tape backing and install the screen."

I dont know about the C6, but on my C5 I didn't have to remove the wheel, just turned it to one side and this gave me enough room to remove the access panel.

If you'd like, you can come up to my place and we can it it in my garage. I'm north of Newmarket, in Sutton.

Mr MAX, you don't need to jack up the car at all. You don't even need to remove the wheels, but you should turn them so they are not in the way.

These are not hard to install, but the opening is small so it will kill your forearms sliding them in there. My arms were red for a week, but worth it. Its also a pain removing the plastic retaining pins inside the wheel wells.

Next time I see you, I can give you some pointers, if you haven't already done them.

Corrado, thanks, any tips you can give will be appreciated. Is it easy to damage the retaining pins, I don't want to actually make things worse.

Thanks for the offer Mike, PM sent.

Konstantin's the man!
Take him up on the offer!

It isn't hard, more frustrating, the clips can be a pain to come off, I pried mine off with pliers and a screwdriver, probably not the best tools, but all I had. Some of them come off easier than others.

Once you get the wheel well opening moved out of the way, its just a matter of getting your arm in there, and its tight, my arms are not big, but they were still hurting! Just make sure you clean the area where the 3M sticky part will go, (they should supply you with an alcohol swad, if not use some. Also, make sure its in the right spot, I screwed my first one up, re-did it, but the 3M didn't stick well enough the seceond time. So I had to go back in and use some high temp RTV glue (tip from BriansC6 ) Do that at night so the car can sit, that glue takes long to dry, but once its set its permanant. Mine have been good for over a year now.

Its not really as hard as it seems. You can do it!!!
