Will Racing Jake Rear fender decal for Z06 fit C8.
Saw a simular decal that states it fits all models. Wondering if there is a difference in fenders between the C8 and Z06. Maybe Chevy says it won't fit C8 cause they only want to see these decals on the Z06.
saw a YouTube video of a guy installing. He had to trim some off the bottom where it meets the wheel opening but it looked really good when he was done
I like that! I think it may have to be cut a bit on the wheel well arch area but other than that, it should fit fine. If the wheel well arch radius is the same as the C8, no adjustments should need to be made to the decal. It may just be a bit longer on the trunk because the Z06 rear is wider.
I saw on one of Great White North Corvette's youtube videos that he has them on his Red Mist C8. He mentioned it had to be trimmed some. The widebody fenders on the Z06 makes a little bit of difference.
The video was actually about him installing a center exit exhaust, if that helps narrow it down. Not sure if he has a video only pertaining to the decal, I just stumbled upon it.

Yuup, your right just have to trim it thanks for the help.
Cool post, I like the decal a lot. Would love to have one of these on my C8 but I would definitely need a pro to do the trimming and install. It has a black border so I would want to see the final trimmed product before I try it. Hopefully you can post your results!
Installed it on my c8 today. The decal that attaches to the trunk lid fits fine.
You have to trim the side decal at the wheel well area. This shows how much I had to trim. Note the small area along the rear fascia seam I had to cut some the decal would run parallel to the body seam.

Was about to say the same, I saw the same video. Good vinyl guy can trim and fit no sweat.

Bad *** will be doing mine next thanks for the info looks really good.
@meflyfrc - I saw your photos here and another thread (what did you do to your C8 today) and I really like the look. I already have the Stingray R graphics package on my C8 and would love to add the Jake logo rear fender package. Can you tell me where you bought it? I've seen it at Wildhammer ($425) and ShopChevyParts ($356,25) so far. Both look like the genuine GM part.
If you prefer not to answer here would you please PM me? Thanks
Rather than cutting it with a knife, try knifeless cutting tape. I've never bought/used it but I watched my friend and his business partner do it on one of my cars in their garage. Seems straightforward but I would try it on scrap vinyl first or at least watch YouTube tutorials. The idea is you'd lay the tape on that fender body line in your paint, then lay the Jake vinyl over it, then pull the tape to cut exactly along the line where you laid it.

Even if it requires a little adjustment, it will look good.
