I got a set for Christmas and will put them on this spring. I think they look better than stone chips do.

Always varying opinions. I’m sure they do the job intended of them, I’m just not sure I care for them aesthetically.

I actually think they look pretty decent. I'd like to see more pictures but at first glance, not bad

not my cuppa tea, but the 3M idea is a good one. You could do the entire rocker panel and it would be vrtually invisible.

I'm using some I got from Ecklers - not color matching or anything but they do work well to keep the chips off. Part number is 35190.

I heard that you have to drill into the panels to install these but I don't know if this is true. I'd like to hear from some who have put them on their vette.

The reason i am looking at these are a few years ago i looked at Vette and it only had 36k miles on it at it was a mess with rock chips all down the sides.........So you guys can tell should i be worried about this or did the guy just drive his car down alot of gravel roads @ 100mph.
