Default Mud Guard ???

I don't know what they are called but it's those add on mud guard (for lack of the right term). I think they use them on wide bodies. Where might I find them and will they fit or look good on a non-wide body?

Thanks!!!

GM splash guards.

I have them on my base coupe, and I love them.
About $100 for the full set of 4.

I see a wide variety of these avail. I always ask, "Any drilling involved" and most often times the vendors say, "No drilling." Which I think almost all of them do. Do these require any drilling?

The rear ones do require drilling holes for them.
Since the tires have to be removed for doing the rear ones, I had my local speed shop put them on when they had it up for an oil change.

A lot of other people have done them by themselves, though.

OP, you'll love them.
Should have come on there stock!

Yes, drilling is required for the rears but not in the Vette body, the 4 holes are in the wheel-well black plastic surround. I did my own, very easy.

I just ordered a set for my 2011 Coupe from GMParts Direct and they came out to 76.40 including shipping. Sounds like a great deal.

Sticks out about a .5" from the body, doesn't seem to really protect it very much. Would prefer wider ones

Mine have been on for 5 years and no dings yet so they do what they were designed for.
