Splash Guard Help...
I want to install splash guards on my car... The 305's that I just installed are right in line with the rear fender well and are kicking up a lot more debris than the stock 275's were. This is a function over cosmetic modification I'm trying to do, but the look has to be right!
Now I have looked thru a ton of threads about various options:
CorvetteMods Guards
L5 Splash Guards
Apsis Splash Guards
GM C6/C6 Z06 Splash Guards (Modification Required)
My only issue is that I want a narrower guard than CorvetteMods, L5 and APSIS provide. And I do not have the patience/skill to modify my own C6 guards.
I was also thinking about having one of those "Clear Bra" companies cover the area behind the wheels...I'm not sure which route to go.
This is what I'm after:

I just installed the l5 rear a couple of days ago, they fit really nice without having to modify, but the double sided tape they come with could be better, the install was very quick and painless but 2 holes have to be drilled.
I realize this is not what your looking for but I figured a pic would give you a better idea at least.

Those L5 spash guards do look very good on the car.

I dont think you will find what you are looking for unless you modify it your self. I went with the lewis 5 flares but took about 1'' of the material out of the bottom they fit great, there a good product, but flare at the bottom to much for my taste i only added because i picked up a smoking deal on some ccw 505a's and the 11.5'' stick out . Im not a fan of that but if you new what i paid for these you would live with it, also i replaced the double sided tape with some different 3m tape and did not have to drill a single hole
here some pics before installed my pfadt coil over, shes much lower now
