No, but I run a set of splash guards from RPI Designs on mine. No drilling required and they do protect the sides of the car. Only cost about $40 to boot.

I like the ones from RPI also. Inexpensive, easy installation and fairly inconspicuous. And they work.

I bite the bullet and bought a front and rear of Apsis old style splash guards, had them painted and installed them. The outcome was great !
I finished the job off with two coats of 3M rocker panel spray one the inside or the part facing the wheel & tire 3M stone protection.

Well, I installed them and REALLY like them. They are not obtrusive at all. Just enough to do the job and they really blend well.

Hmm might have to consider these. Don't particularly care for the way they look on the car, but they would definitely would serve a good purpose.

Lets put it this way...My wife has walked by the car several times and not even noticed them. Even my 19 yo son who is a car nut has not noticed them! Waiting to see how long before they do!

I think with our wide booties, the c6 z06 modified to fit is the best looking one!

I'm in a quandary. I prefer the looks of the Apsis ones, and someone sells a similar one for the C5, but I'm having a hard time justifying the price. Since my car is black, the Mamoto or RPI ones would blend fine, though the Mamoto ones seem a little longer and slimmer. I DO have some pitting from road debris on the inner part of the fender and would like to clean it up and then put them on.

On a black car, these would be almost invisible!
