ZL1 Front splash guards

Anyone have ideas on a front splash guard for a ZL1? I'm looking for something resembling the rear factory installed unit on the ZL1. Can the rear units be modified to fit work on the front? Can the existing units installed on the front-of-the-front-wheel-well be utilized to worked as a traditional splash guard? Will a existing C5 or C6 Corvette unit work? I hate to see my 2013/VIN1199/ZL1 unprotected from front tire thrown road hazards.

I made my own. Used a piece of card board to trace the back "canard" as the template, and modified the shape slightly.

Purchased some flat "truck" sized splash guards, used tin snips to cut and trimmed to fit. Gave the cut edges of the matched pair a quick sand with my belt sander.

Used little slip clips to mount to fender. Placed a strip of electrical tape between the paint and splash guard.

Thanks THR ZL1 #1.
I'll work with "ToddsZL1" to copy your design. He does a first rate facility in Shawano.

Look at a new vette they appear to be flat and the same material and i think they would work. T rear zl1 splash shield appears to be wide but would have to be modified.I have been looking for the same cure with 2000 miles on mine i have a few small chips already.

Here's how mine came out

I took THR's idea and here's how mine came out. I didn't use electrical tape between the flap and paint since the flap only sits against the fender wall lip and the flap does not "flap" in the wind.
