Front mud flap/guard question
Is there oem front mud flap for a C5Z? I autocross my C5Z and a lot of the lots we use have loose gravels and small rocks so I figure that a front mud flap would reduce the risk of small rocks kicked by the front tires and ruin the paint work. The rear has a mud flap already. Thanks guys.

19 bucks. Are they the prettiest? of course not. but I have 40 autocrosses on this setup, drive from charleston SC to daytona once a month and have done that for 2.5 years. My rocker panels are not sandblasted. I only have one screw holding them. If I hit a cone with them they break free cleanly and I screw them right back on. Nothing gets hurt and my paint is in fantastic condition.

There were no OEM splash guards for the C5, but plenty of aftermarket vendors carry some. I run a set of the stealth ones from RPI Designs - about $40 and they protect the sides of the car very well.

I was wrong, they aren't 19 bucks, they are 29 bucks.

I have them low enough that they will hit the ground under hard braking and turning. Don't care. For 29 bucks I can ignore the occasional dragging sound if that's what it takes to keep my paint in good shape, and they really do a good job at that.
If it were not doing 20+ autocrosses a year I'd buy something that looks a lot nicer but these are perfect for autocross and the occasional cone slap. If I tear one I'm not going to get upset about it. Just don't fasten it so well that the occasional cone slap tears your fender liner clips out.
