Default Flared fender splash guards

Whats everybody flared rear fenders using for splash guards? i ordered a set of c6 splash guards but they really don't seem big enough I thought I was getting the C6 Z06 ones but maybe i just got ones for a base c6? is there a difference? anyway interested in some input and pictures would be great too cause with these 13" wide rear wheels im going to need to run some sort of a splash guard.

C6 Z06 splash guards on the rear with 1.25 inch adapters to push the wheels out to meet the guards.

Bought them used off of the C6 forum. Trimmed them up to fit and had them dipped local. They seem like they don't cover all of the tire area but they really do keep the debris off the rear bumper.

I hear ya, Yeah there is no way i'm going to totally be able to cover all the tire area with a 13" wide rim but its gotta help some and make it look a little better than nothing but tire hanging out on the bottom side is what I'm thinking.
