I have the RPI. I like that there's no drilling. The rears seem a little small but I never had and problems with stone chips behind the rear wheels. You can hear the rocks bouncing off the fronts though so they are doing their job! lol!
Than is my hesitation- that the rear splash guard seems small... several good reviews of the product lead me to grt them, plus the price. Have you seen the C5 splash Guards from Corvette Mods?They appear wide -

They're small because they don't need to be big lol
My car is all chewed up behind the front tires...nothing behind the rear. I've never had a problem with rocks kicking up from the rear tires. Unless maybe you're off roading.
Besides....what are they $30? Buy them and try them and if you don't like them get the others. We're not talking a lot of money here.

I thought about the C6 guards and they require A LOT of modification to make them fit right and you have to drill your car. If I was getting my car painted...the last thing I'd want is to drill more holes in it.
I was in the same boat as you. I wanted what looked and worked the absolute best. I decided on the RPI just as a test based on other reviews and ease of installation. Walking up to the car they blend in with the tires and you can barely see them. And if I need to take them off I can do it in 5 minutes. And they require no modification to the car which is a big deal for me.
Added bonus is that they appear to work very well.

Because I am wet sanding and painting I will likely put on a wrap by 3m with warranty for 10 years, plus splash guards. I appreciate everyone's imput!

Yes they are better with drilled holes, and no they don't require much alteration at all.
the c6 guards are easy to adapt, just take out a little t a time, dremel with a sanding barrel make quick work of this task, put them on mine a few weeks ago, front and rear.
