Default Where to get C5 wide fenders? (C6 ZO6 look alike)

Where to get C5 wide fenders? (06 ZO6 look alike). I have seen a couple of pics of C5's with the C6 ZO6 wide fenders and was wondering where to get them. What do you have to do to get the rims flush with the fenders? Like off set what size rims etc etc. If anybody has pics please post them and what all do you have to do to install them? Thanks

Google West Coast Muscle Cars and talk to Claude. He sells the L5(Lewis5) fenders at the best prices and service.

Maybe the person offering then wasn't a supporting vendor or something like that. I sure liked the look of what he had done.

I am a sponsor. I'll post up when they're done as I got my PM box full from people all wanting me to build other parts for their car.

Cool, I'm interested as well. In my previous (now lost in the abyss) post I mentioned I wasn't sure about the C6Z duct on a C5Z (since there will be a bunch o' ducts), but I'd have to wait and see - I might be more interested in a "ductless" version (but I realize you can only handle so many variants).

I really like the idea of "stock width" flare too - I'm running IForged 19x11 rears with a 305/30-19 and it's a wide fitment. I want to go with some coilovers in near future and I think I'm going to run into clearance issues.

I also have considered (talked to Vince about widening the wheel) moving to a 19x13 so I can run a 345 width rear, and was interested in the L5's, but it really interesting to hear you might be offering a wide/aftermarket version of your fender too!

I see you're down in Orlando (I'm up in St. Augustine) - do you have a paintshop? I'd be interested in the fenders and paint (plus a reshoot on my Specter Werks rear fascia - it has some scuffs).

Great work!

If it means anything to ya the L5's are considerably less than the ACP fenders but the ACP's do flare further down the fender. Different strokes for different folks. Either one looks darn good with 345's but will increase your understeer.

They are not a sponsor here, so do not expect a link to be posted. PM me and I will give you the contact info.

In addition, some other options include Caravaggio & Lingenfelter (Mini Tub)

Be sure to post up some pics when you finish the project.
