It depends on which ones you get.

These don't look bad at all.

Default guards

Just received the C6Z06 rears from Fred Beans. Have not found anything for the front -yet. Preliminary fit looks like it won't be to hard to trim then for the C5. Have never liked the "mud guard" look and these will do the job w/o that look.
