Default Cleartastic Splash Guards ??

Always been a splash guard kind of guy. I know, they are ugly but better than the mess and eventual damage of not having them. Did not have them on my '78 but all since. Then this 2002 showed up and it's 'drill baby drill' to install.

I'm not going to drill holes in this car and would probably just do without except I want to do a 3000+ mile road trip next month preferring not to take the time every day to detail.

So my search has led me to the Cleartastics products. Has anyone here used them? Good/bad/other ... ?

Maybe another guard that doesn't require drilling is out there?

Thanks.

Note: Search yielded about a million company bumps. I'm hoping to hear from actual users.

Try the C6 splash guard mod for the C5. They look great and easy to do. Do a search on here. I believe its in the DIY thread. Love mine.

I went with the C5 Stealth Guards from RPI. Not the best looking but they work. No drilling required.

Me too. You barely notice them and they were dirt cheap. I like them.

That's what I have on my car and they do a very good job of protecting the side of the car. They are inexpensive, are not obnoxious looking, and install quickly with no drilling.
