splash guards
Hi, does anyone have pics of the C6 style splash guards on their C5? I keep busting the regular SG because they hang lower then the car. I also have side skirts on so do the C6 SG need to be notched out to fit? Thanks

Forgot a important item. . .
Use this 3M 'Splash guard panel Coating' Spray on a first coat, wait for it to flash over, about 30 seconds, hit it again and pull off the masking right away. If you leave it on too long you get a ragged white edge.
You use this on the side facing the tire. I forgot to mention it.

I considered installing them on the front, but it was to much to trim using the c6z guards and I don't think I would've liked the look. Also, keep in mind that 0H1Z06 and I installed these because we installed the flared rear quarter panels. The c6z splash guards cost about $150/pair new.

I believe I paid ~$125 from a GM dealer (GM parts house maybe?) for the set with the little plastic retaining pins. I added black-painted stainless screws and nylon finishing washers to ensure a tight fit. The front guards are a near perfect match, but the rears required some trimming mostly on the area where it wraps around the bottom of the bumper.
