C6 fender flares on a C5Z

[JK4Z06]

Hello all,

Will the plastic rear wheel fender flares on the C6Z work on the C5Z? Has anyone tried this, and if so, does anyone have any pics of it, especially on a yellow Z? How did it work?

Thanks

I don't recall if anyone has C6Z style flares available, or has tried to fit them to a C5, but I prefer the lookof the Lewis 5 Flares.

This is what's on my car.

If you're talking fender flares, short of a wide body kit - RC45 shows the way.
If you're talking C6Z splash guards:

#1581-8637 and #1581-8636

Call Gene Culley, GM Parts House

'taint easy, but here's a thread on how to, with a link to another related thread.

Price?

For the Lewis 5 Fenders? I seem to recall paying about $800, shipped to Houston, for them.

Is this what you are talking about? I made these C6 Zs fender guards fit with a little trimming and 3M tape.

Thanks for the pic , do you have any more from a little farther out? I would like to see your yellow car as a whole with them on. How do they work? :mug:

They work better than nothing. I'm running 345s on the back the tires stick out a little at the bottom of the fender. I'll try to get some better pics this weekend. here is a pic before I installed them.

What are the specs on your rear wheels?
Post a pic from the back/side to how how far they stick out.
You're not tubbed I take it since the car sits high.
Nice wheels!

The rear wheels are 19 X 12 with 345s. I installed the Lingerfelter minitubb kit
myself. I followed the directions to the T and it came out great. My car is as low as it will go without the 345s hitting wheel inner liners. Here's a few pics.

Thanks alot

I also really like your MCM hood so much I had to install too. But I've been wanting one for a while. Your Z really looks great and I wish I had waited for an 04 model.

Thanks Aldrich!
I'm tubbed too. This pic is lowered on stock bolts/front removed, no scrapping. Now I run Pfadt c/o's, and suspension, and lower still no problem.
I see you like Caravaaggio's stuff too!

I remember reading when you installed the Pfadt c/o's on the other forum. I almost pulled the plug on them myself on the last group buy but something came up (it still on my to do list). Just wondering how do you keep your tires from hitting your inner liners, the clearance must be tight. I could lower mine a little more but I was afraid if I hit a bump the wheel would go into the liner.
