Another weekend DIY project done

After looking for the best way to reduce stone chips, I went with the C-6 splash guards. Takes a little time to get it right but i like the look.

Thanks to the others who posted up HOW to do the install.

Think I may do the fronts next.

Thanks guy's
When I do the fronts, I think i'll shave them even more (thinner) so they blend in with the car and not stick out as much.

Very nice!

Been wanting to do this for a while just heard too many horror stories of people messing them up when they trim them down.

C6 are much slimmer compared to the C6Z...on that note they look like the Z's but like to confirm by the OP.
