Default Contour Mud Flaps

Hi Everyone,
I am a new Z06 owner and I love it! I wash my car at least twice a week and I am sad to say that I have already noticed some small paint damage behind the wheel wells. I have been thinking about buying painted mud flaps. I really dont like the idea, but I really want to protect my car. Does anyone have picture of what they look like installed? Are there any benifits / disadvantages? What does everyone think? :flag

Me too!, My Z06 is black, so the flaps hide very well. I am putting some on this week.

I hate stone chips. :mad

Thanks for the reply,
I have been thinking about getting matching white ones. Please let me know how it turns out for you, also if you could it would be great to see a picture or two.
Thanks,
Ken :flag

It's really whichever you like. Most people seem to match the car color.

You might consider the cheap flat ones (ABS black). They don't require holes, and they basically visually disappear into the tires.

I'd rather not have flaps or masks, but I'd also rather not have a damaged car.
