I use them on mine. Got a set of the stealth ones from RPI Designs. Cost was about $40, they use existing screws in the front and a combo of existing screws/metal clips in the back (clips do not make contact with any painted surface), and provide pretty decent protection for the side of the car. Mine are both front and back.

2025 C8 Stingray of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
I have the RPI C6 Z06 on mine from this thread, front and back:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...our-piece.html
They were a bit pricey but I like the way they look and they provide good protection.
There's a thread here with a cheaper option of buying the actual C6 guards and modifying them to fit, but I just wanted to put them on and be done with it.
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...er-guards.html
Overall I'm happy with them.

I have a set from Apsis that used existing screws in the front. They are similar to the RPI product. I only installed the fronts. They are black so they blend in with my tires and paint and are unnoticeable. The rears install with clips and double sided 3M tape but I left them off since they would be more noticeable.

There is also some clear covering material that can be applied directly to the paint to protect the paint from minor things like sand and grit thrown up but not rocks. 3M makes a spray on that is easily removable and others make some sheet material you can cut and apply. Neither will harm the paint and can be removed.
I have used the sheet material on my Pantera when I went to the dragstrip with slicks.

Love my Stealth splash guards...I have them on both cars. You can hardly see them.

I call mine Splash Guards. Have had Apsis on the rear for many yrs now & just got a set for the front & like them a lot. Left them the stock black color but have seen them painted to match the body color which looks very nice. Apsis might be pricy but IMO they are worth it.

I didn't add anything to them and when I clean in that area I have not noticed any changes. I caused a slight scratch in an area when I mounted them which is not visible after installation and I recently checked and it's still there! I have had them on for over a year and they have saved my quarters from any additional rock/sand damage.
