One of my favorite features on the Z06 & ZR1 Corvettes is the moulded fender extension on the trailing edge of the rear fender.

I'd like to have something similar for my GT... but most I've seen are simply flat pieces of plastic that remind me of an old school mudflap from the 60s.

Just can't go there on my car.

The cost for the GM part is about 45.00 per side, but I'm not sure the body contours are close enough to look correct...

Anybody our there in GT land have a better idea for me?

E/Pockets, I know you'll have some good thoughts on this subject.

I know, terrible picture below, but that's all I could find on short notice.

BTW - I have been running with them for over 4k miles.... No Problems! Used Silicon to "glue" them on versus drill holes

I, too, have the Stillen products. Put the rear ones on permanent, but I only use the front ones on track days. They are easy to rig a temp. setup using the original holes for the wheel housing.

Likewise, I've got 'em and being black, the fronts and backs match perfectly. Really does keep the road s#*t off the sides and rear of the FGT. Great product!

I ordered a set of rear guards from Stillen's website. I'll report back in once I get 'em in hand.

Thanks everyone!

btw... Happy Thanksgiving to you all.

I have both the front and read Stillens product. I think they look fine on a black or blue GT. Hardly notice them and they work!
