Default mud flaps/guards ???

Been wanting to add fender splash guards to my 2004 vette, but was told that the after market one's are way to big, and look funny on the c5 version.--was told to go with orig gm as they are smaller in size.--any suggestions, or better yet pic;s anyone ???

I just installed the APsis C5 fender guards on my 2000 and they fit and look terrific. At bit pricey at $200 for the rears,however, the look is exactly what I was looking for. I have CCW505's and they stick outside the fender a little. With the SPsis fender guards, the wheels are much more acceptable when viewing the car from the rear. I highly recommend then.

They look good but don't really stop the car from getting beat up by road junk (especially those tiny front ones).

These actually protect the car:

Send a PM to member Dee Gee. He put C6 Z06 guards on his and has a real good writeup on it. If I was going to keep my '99 I'd go with these but right now I'm keeping the $ to maintenance only until I can move up to the C6 Z06.
