Default 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.

Are they c6 or z06 guards? I think there is a difference.

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