Default Home made splash guards

I made some splash guards. I started with flat vinyl splash guards from a local car parts store and cut them to fit. I wanted the exposure to only be sufficient and not stick out too much. $16.

They look great-can you get us some sunlight pictures so we can see the fit and finish better?

If you could make this into a DIY for adding to the stickies it would be great.

Nice work.

I think you should start taking orders.

I am in at a reasonable price point. Please advise and I'll even pay the shipping.

Nice job, not sure how much protection they offer but whatever works for you.
Not much of a fan for having splash guards on a Corvette.

They look good. How much trimming did you need to do and what did you use to do that. I have a white C7 also and like the look of the black.

Looks like they turned out really nice. I agree that a DIY post with pics and instructions would be great to have.

Side question to the OP, what is that "cover" you have on the corner light?

Thanks in advanced.
