Here's some impromptu pics. They aren't actually installed on the car (as these may go to a customer), they are just taped on. That being the case they look more straight and angular because they are rounded to hug the fender well (that happens when you screw them in).
Also, I can easily make sets to be more like the Z06 ones (on one plane, that doesn't extend under the bumper, that just goes straight down and then curves in) and also these are powdercoated a black texture to look like plastic and match my side splitters but you can have them in raw aluminum and paint/powdercoat however you want (body color or satin black could be pretty cool, I could even offer in satin black powdercoat easily)...
On with the crappy pics...
Not for everyone but they serve their purpose (I think with the extended under the bumper plane they will work a lot better even)...

6LE, you can get the rear mud guards for $80. Why not have those water-jetted to fit and sell them for around $140? At $70 a piece, that's really not too bad for as good as those things look.
But you'd know more than I do. It was just a thought.

Besides, I learned not to try to sell pieces people can "make themselves". The people who aren't lazy just do it themselves and the other people who want it but are too lazy to do it just complain about the price because they could "do it themselves" even though they never do...

Absolutely no problem. However, then I'm basically just selling you an aluminum powdercoated mudflap you could cut yourself with tin shears for a whole lot less. Granted you'd have to be VERY good with tin shears to get the straight line and the curve.
The ones I show in the picture are a little harder for the average person to make in a clean fashion because:
1) The lines are straight and clean, hard to do without a machine or press (cutter).
2) The bend/break is a slighty pass 90* bend. You can bend by hand but you get a nasty curved bend. To get the clean angle to fit right you need a break like I use.
Long story short I'm only here to offer what the average person can't do on their own...
