Mud Flaps!

Mud Flaps!
So I'll be looking to pick up some mud flaps for my car..My drive way is gravel and I am constantly getting dirt all over the side..Anyone have any good recommendations? I was looking at RPI's website and they seemed ot have a couple different versions, some color matching some not, and also the fit on them..Does anyone have any pictures so I can get an idea of what I would like best.

The black seems to blend in with any body color.
If you have a GS/Z06, then I believe you have to go aftermarket at much higher price.
Enjoy!

We had the nakidparts flaps on our 2006, they worked well but I thought they looked pretty homemade.
W don't have any on the 2009, at 51k miles there is some mild sandblasting of the curved area going into the wheel wells but road dust covers it by the time I get home from the car wash. It also looks like if I installed the GM guards some time later, they would cover the sandblasted area. Plastic cars have real advantages!

I had a set of the GM splash guards installed on our machine silver '05. Very nice fit and not painfully obvious. Just enough to keep most of the tire dirt off the side of the car. Very pleased with result and appearance.

i have the same ones in the pics above by rcallen and they look and function great. They are the gm ones and they are nice and "small" compared to others but they do the job and compliment the car....

So I lightly stuck them in place to see how they looked, and then removed them.
After I took them off, the wheel well opening and body itself looked unfinished
Even though they're small, they work, blend in nicely and enhance the overall look of the car.
They should have been on there from the Factory IMO.

Thanks for all the business guys! The GCA splash guards shown in a previous post are what we offer as well. Always plenty in stock with the best pricing around.

When I bought my 08 C6 it had the color matched splash guards like Smokin Z51 has on his car, JSB color. I have grown to like them very much but you should know that to install them you have to drill through the inner finder lip and if you want to take them off someday the holes show. They are made by Altec and sold through many of the forum vendors.
