The Corvette wheel arch mod is in effect an admission the original geometry was lacking. Better to re-loft the fender lines to smoothly fair the airflow out to the vertical plane of the modified wheel arch*, rather than the draggy stepped addition.

That said, the draggy stepped wheel arch mod is better than the original naked fender.

* Better yet would be to add a BMW-inspired air curtain, perhaps doubling as an oil cooler exit vent.
