You can spend many $$$$ for some, or their are threads on how to mod C6 ones to fit. I have clear bra behind every wheel, but I'd like to keep it cleaner also. C6 ones look good when done right.

I use a very reasonably priced set from RPI Designs -cost was about $40 and they use the stock screws and some clips that do not scratch the paint.

I am running splash guards from Lewis 5 Motorsports. (Forum Vendor)
I needed something to save the quarters since I went with a larger wheel and wider tire.
The Fronts install with the OEM screws that are already in place holding the fender liner and the rears come with screws. However I chose to use double sided tape to steer away from drilling holes.

I like the L5 guards. They offer the oem look and protection for the paint. Most of our customers paint them.

I am running the L5 also but also running the L5 rear fenders.. Best rear fenders and best vendor to get these parts from on the forum. Robert

I have a set of Apsis on the rear now for several yrs & have had no issues. I left them black & use Aerospace Protectant 303 to dress them up. They work for me.

I can get a pair of molded splash guards for my Z71 for $40, which contains way more material than the corvette units. Hmmmm. Why so much for corvette? OH, it has the name CORVETTE on it.
