Tips On Installing C5 Corvette Z06 & FRC Carbon Fiber Wide Quarter Panels Rear Fenders Replacement

[@saab6723]

Very good informational video. I'm still a C4 man, but actively looking for a C5 ZO6. When I acquire it the stock look and the stock performance handling will be short lived! Thanks to all you guys that have paved the way on the do's and dont's for this premier muscle car! Blessing Bro!

[@WorkingWithWimberley]

God Bless you too!

[@YellowVette04]

Appreciate the shoutout. You did some work to get those to fit good. Bummer you have to do so much, but like you said you were able to get it done.

[@WorkingWithWimberley]

No problem! I’ve had a great experience with the KZbin & Instagram Corvette community. I will continue to shout you guys out along the way. I definitely appreciate the help and the sharing of good information!

[@godcarstoolsandfun4089]

Soood video and thorough details. Thanks for the time to produce this my man

[@WorkingWithWimberley]

You’re welcome! I’m glad the video helped!

[@car-nivores]

Came here to send your vid to a friend, why am i just now seeing the shout out 😅. Thanks homie!

[@WorkingWithWimberley]

No problem! You know I rock with you guys. I thought I told you I shouted you out. I appreciate you dudes!

[@B_r_i_n_k]

Looks like corvette creationz zr style. I've been talking to them about buying a set of front and rear widebody quarters but have been hesitant at pulling the trigger.

[@WorkingWithWimberley]

It wasn’t them. I purchased mine from Extreme Dimensions and I do not recommend them.

[@cryptonz06]

thanks for making this video. I’m glad I saw it before I threw my money away on some crap that I wouldn’t of liked.

[@WorkingWithWimberley]

No problem.

[@m.a.d.detailing2144]

Where did you buy the truck?

[@WorkingWithWimberley]

I ordered it from trackspecmotorsports.com

[@tommycastro7357]

Great Job. Looks great.

[@WorkingWithWimberley]

Thanks! It was a bit of a challenge, but I’m happy.

[@jjcorv]

I just ran into this video and thanks for making it. With these panels did you have to purchase the trunk panel or what is up with that panel? Is it carbon fiber and where did you get it, I like it.

[@WorkingWithWimberley]

Yes it’s carbon fiber and I purchased it. There are two options: trackspecmotorsports.com/c5-corvette-97-04-z06-frc-carbon-trunk-lid-pin-on-150 and trackspecmotorsports.com/c5-corvette-97-04-z06-frc-carbon-trunk-lid-pin-on

[@jjcorv]

@@WorkingWithWimberley thanks for replying, I appreciate that. Good luck in your future endeavors.

[@WorkingWithWimberley]

@@jjcorv No problem! Thanks.

[@keithr6827]

I was thinking about these but I might just go the rocket bunny fender flares route now. But damn, they do look good.

[@WorkingWithWimberley]

Thanks! I was just being honest and giving you guys a heads up! It’s not impossible, but it’s a ton of unnecessary work due to poor quality fitment by the manufacturer.

[@corvette25hi]

Nice job Steven!

[@WorkingWithWimberley]

Thanks! Much appreciated!

[@realacerboy30]

I missed this one. Nice vid bro.

[@WorkingWithWimberley]

Thanks bro! I know the thumbnails look the same, but I was motivated to release videos on back to back days.

[@luiscaraballo2767]

Great fitment. Did you use wheel spacers at all??

[@WorkingWithWimberley]

Thanks! Yes I did. I used 1.5” spacers. One on each side.

[@Alans63]

Thanks so much for putting this video out!

[@WorkingWithWimberley]

You’re welcome! I’m glad the video helped!

[@ty_the_guy951]

You are the man!!! Thank you very much sir

[@WorkingWithWimberley]

You’re welcome! I’m glad the video helped!

[@STDT2]

How did you spot the mounting holes? Did you peel off the rubber seal and reinstall on the new fender and thanks for making this video, not much to there. Planning on doing front and this winter?

[@WorkingWithWimberley]

I put a piece of masking tape on the quarter panel and marked it through the hole on the Vette where I could. For the top where the trunk opening was I had to eye ball it. And my old quarters did not have a rubber seal. No problem!

[@mikehillman3144]

Great tips! Where did you get your carbon brake ducts?

[@WorkingWithWimberley]

The previous owner added them. They were already on there when I purchased the car. There used to be a few guys selling them on eBay. This is the only link I see online at the moment. www.octanemotorsports.com/1997-2004-chevrolet-corvette-z06-c5-rks-carbon-fiber-duct-covers-pair-212827.html?gclid=CjwKCAiA1JGRBhBSEiwAxXblwTEGrGPzZwl-GeO6w8pwZB-pHUNo97uMnDsmBDcibslwnod7JDHn4RoCpP4QAvD_BwE

[@mikehillman3144]

@@WorkingWithWimberley can you tell me where you purchased these? I am ordering from Corvette Creationz soon. I am not going carbon fiber though.

[@abelmartinez9585]

What did you use to cut the panels to make them look so clean?

[@WorkingWithWimberley]

I used a power cut off tool. I marked off the lines with tape and went for it. www.harborfreight.com/3-in-high-speed-electric-cut-off-tool-63023.html

No, I don’t have them anymore.

[@jimmymolina8992]

[@WorkingWithWimberley]

Cool! I’m glad you were able to get yours on.

[@spenceair1972]

If they weren’t slotted before they are now!!! Lol. Good tech.

[@WorkingWithWimberley]

😂😂😂

[@722racing3]

Confirming they are slotted as early as 2000.

[@WorkingWithWimberley]

Thanks for letting us know!

[@barryhallsack8852]

Dude, thanks for this video. You're the man! I guess I need to be not such a bitch and put some muscle into it 😂. Your car looks great by the way!

[@WorkingWithWimberley]

Thank you! The fitment of these aftermarket parts are horrible! But I had to make it work.

[@rickgolobo9333]

Where I buy the quarters

[@WorkingWithWimberley]

You’ll have to search online and check the customer reviews. I cannot recommend the company I purchased from. There were too many fitment issues and customer service problems.

[@cjh4l22]

@@WorkingWithWimberley What company made these fenders?

[@MrGohardest]

Doesn’t help us very much if we don’t know which company’s product to avoid…

[@TruInferno]

kewl video!!!

[@WorkingWithWimberley]

Thanks bro!!!

[@wkjeeping9053]

Those are sick but I hate the fitment of that company. I know there work. I went thru 6 sets before I got my money back.

[@WorkingWithWimberley]

6! That’s insane! I’m surprised you were able to get your money back. I also am in the process of fitting the front fenders and it’s just as bad as the quarters. 😂
