Had/have the Altec painted version. Removed the front, much too low and drag on EVERYTHING. Made it very difficult to manuver in parking lots with speed bumps and sometimes when pulling into traffic from parking areas w/pronounced drain curbs.

They can be "removed" over any major hump, bump, or dip in a heartbeat.

The rears are vunerable when backing also.

They kind of ruin the lines of the car, since they just end abruptly.

And those caliper covers sorry, they just don't look good.

The time will come,Rachel,when you will reminisce fondly about the days when men used to hit on you.

Dont foget to get a bug shield, a trailer hitch, and curb feelers. Those along with your mud flaps would look really good!

I was beginning to think this was a bad joke, thanks Maiden for agreeing and getting sick with me. I am really surprised how many people like mud flaps, mud flaps are for trucks that drive in the mud, thats why they are called mud flaps. A nice set of super swampers would help to not get stuck in the mud. F$&*#@% mud flaps, I have to stop now!

Glad you guys like the look of chewed up rockers more than something to stop it. Many cars come with mudguards like this from the factory today-beats having chewed up paint.

I would rather paint my car monthly, then have those things on my car. Do you have a half inch of silicone rubber on your windshield? If a rock hits your windshield than you fix it, if a few rocks hit your rockers than you fix it. If you are so worried about little rock chips, put your car in a bubble and just look at it, Vettes were ment to be driven, so go drive yours,and the next time you are at a stop light and the guy next to you is looking at your car, he is not looking at your car, he is in shock trying to understand why someone would put MUDFLAPS on a corvette!!!

The rockers take the most beating of any body panel, especially if you ever drive in gravel. Look at your windshield vs. your rockers. I'll take the mud guards anyday vs. chewed up rockers.
