i bought that brand several years ago but i have not put them on because i hate drilling holes in the fenders. someone else on the fourm put the c6 z06 rear mud guards on a c5 which i thought looked ok, but took some work to fit them on the c5.

I have them on my C5's. They do a good job of protecting the car from stone chips.

I am planning on removing them from my driver, as parking lot speed bumps are not too kind to them (fronts especially). The fronts are so low to the ground I can't get the toe of my shoe under them.

Everyone has their own tastes and opinions about what belongs on their cars. These guards provide great protection and I would love to buy a set, if they begin to make them in an invisable option!

I have the 3M on the rocker panels and behind each wheel. The rear 3M panels still look good but the fronts are stained with black specs from road grime and are heavily pitted from stones. The rocker panel 3M leading edges are starting to come off and shows a black strip were it is loose. It's been on the Corvette for 5 years....I hate to think what she would look like with it.

Theres mine, I've had them on for about 3 years. I think they look pretty good and do a good job on save the paint from rock chips.
CAUTION!!!!!
Watch for speeds bumps, pop holes and curbs. I've cracked both of the fronts before and had to replace them
