Default Apsis Splash Guards - Painted and Installed

Just picked the car up tonight. Painted and installed. My guy painted all of the splash guard the body color. He also re-painted my really badly chipped rear brake ducts. Overall I like them..











They give the rear a little wider look..

They really look good painted. Ive also have the front & rear ones,but im just going to have the body side painted and leave the tire side black. How was the fit on your rear ones? Mine are not so good. The fronts are a perfect fit though.

Looks really sharp. I didn't like the fronts when I saw them installed unpainted but painted they really flow with the lines of the car. Very nice.

Wayne, they really look great painted. They don't look like splash guards at all. Gives your Vette a nice custom look. Now you need something to protect the splash guards. Ah Sum paint on that car!

Thanks Larry... The fit could have been better and then again it could have been worse... I do like the look of them and more importantly hoping for the fronts to protect my rear brake ducts from chipping.

Thanks Mike.... They do give it a different look. Not like a stuck on splash guard hanging down. Thanks for the kind words on the paint job, and think she is a little dirty now. Have to get her ready for Carlisle...
