Apsis' C5 Splash Guard (C6 Z06 Style) Finally Done & Installed, *PICS SHOWN*

I'm seriously considering these for both front and back. We just got back from a trip out to oaks and this is what I found on my new molded in brake ducts this morning....
I guess my fat front tires are kicking up some stones... Either that or I'm going to buy some clear tubing at HD and make my own temp stone guard for the duct lip.....

Are you sure you were not the victim of a drive-by? That is really cool how the rocks flew off the tires, avoided the fender, then looped around and got the air duct from behind - mystery

These look really good! On a Vert, it doesn't look swell, but imagine.....for a second with me.
Pitch Black coupe, TS frost, Quarter panel flares, SpecterWerkes rear, and these splash guards...
These add a very nice, yet subtle boost to the look of the car. Gives it a meaner stance.

P.S. Today I check our shipping documents but unfortunately there is no C5 Splash Guard in this shipment.

That all depends on how you look at things. I got sever rock chips on my rear brake ducts which if I had to fit them every year would cost me $400 to repair..... And they are not even on the car three months... If these stop that them I'm happy....

There is some special paint stuff that ACP puts on top of the paint for race cars that prevents rock chips, forgot what it is called.

I went over to Apsis today. First, they guys there are great. I spoke to Jersey yesterday and meet with Mike this morning. Top notch guys! I picked up the short Z06 style splash guards and after looking at the thread I'm starting to think I made an error in judgement. They short units have more of a "drop" behing the tire, so should block way more stuff from getting at the rear quarters. The long units didn't have as much material dropping down behing the wheel (if they did I would've bought them immediately) but now looking at the pics of the long units installed here I'm having second thoughts. Mike even said I can return them to swap for the long ones if I want! I just hate the idea of having to pull them off! BTW, they showed me a set of carbon fiber Z06 style splash gaurds. If I wanted to spend lots of $$$$ it'd go on these. They are absolutely beautiful!!! Let me tell you, even with the big ticket price I was very, very tempted!!!

If the Long Splash Guards are at the shop when will they ship to all that have ordered them?

I don't know, but I'd guess real soon??? I'm just glad that I live close enough to just go over there. I also bought a set of the short version (I couldn't make up my mind!!! without having the car) but sent the long set to MacMulkin to install. If anyone thats waiting wants a set of the short ones that'll ship TOMORROW, let me know. You can have them for my cost. I'll pick up the shipping!!!

I'm about 158 miles away from them. If I knew they would be there I may just drive out and get them myself.... Want to get them on my car so I can get my brake ducts repaired. Hate seeing the rock chips on them...
