I'm currently running aspis rear splash guards on the rear and the rpi's on the front, for a period I ran the rears on the front of the rear fender attached with traditional non-drilled fasteners. Looked great failed but, after several hundred miles. Will probably buy another set and install with factory style push pins

Any of you guys using these could chime in? Would like some opinions and also how easy were they to install? Are they as stealth as they look in the pics?

Thanks!

Bought them and returned them. To me, they looked like crap on my Vette; paying the big bucks for Apsis or L5 is ridiculous. Drive the car and when it gets some scratches; spend the money at a body shops. Or, just quit worrying about a few nicks; I know it's the baby and I feel the same way, but c'mon...I'm 65 and was just informed on the TV that my life expectancy is 78 so what's a few nicks when you're having fun for the next 13 years
