Splash Guards
Anyone recommend the best splash guards for a 1995 Corvette. Prefer a set that does not require drilling.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I have these on my 85 ever since I bought it new. I think they add a lot of protection and use the existing body screws.

The rear splash guards are most important to me in that they will collect some of the rubber that winds up on the bottom of the quarter panels from heating the drag radials in the water box. The rubber can be quite a pain in the neck to remove.

About the rubber on your rear under fenders, try this (or similar)... put on a layer before racing, then simply peel off after winning!
If you install splash guards, the rubber will just build up there instead of the fender... and you'll eventually have to clean it off anyway.

Thanks for posting a picture of your car. Not only because we love pictures here on CF, but also I have a white 1995 coupe and have been wondering about the panel gaps on the rear quarters. Yours look just like mine.

Are you his wife?
Bob, drilling and screwing a small screw will not de-value that car. I did it to my 95 and my 96 Collector Edition. I also had a C5 Z06 Z16 number 534 out of 2,025 produced, a car with special VIN and I installed C6Z06 splash guards on it. The splash guards are great

These were on the car when I bought it. I did do one thing to them, I used foam-in-the-can insulation and filled the voids in them and they're solid as a rock. They use existing bolts to mount though there is a small angle bracket on the fronts that can be screwed to the body if you want to use them.

Here they are installed on my car.

Love the splash guards on mine, the word Corvette is actually a sticker placed very well onto the flap, previous owner did it to the car sometime in its life, i've washed the area many times and it still looks great, sticker stays on. A very nice little touch to the Vette imo.

Functional splash guards. Tap plastics.

My goal was to minimize lower panel filth, etc., so I put no-drill 'mud flaps' on my car. I found little/no change in crap thrown up to adhere behind each wheel. Visualizing a tangential line from the tire to that area showed why: the flaps were not long enough and my opinion, hence choice, was to remove them rather than degrade the sleek lines of the car.
I keep that area well waxed but rarely, if ever, drive over dirt or stony roads, nor do I liqudate rear rubber (much).
Flame away. I know I live on a different planet!

I only asked what collectible Corvette and two were offended. It is not my fault you are a sensitive person. You can call me a douche bag, dick head, *******, anything, but the fact is you feel bad after I addressed the obvious.
Collective C4s:
Grand Sports
ZR-1s
and many of those are not in collector status yet.
Do your homework....
An 85 has nothing desirable, I'd be using rivets on that one...
