I have the stealth splash guards from RPI on my '03. No drilling, uses factory screws and works very well.

C5 Splash Guards
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!

You have to grind on them a lot. And if you **** it up, you're either out the $120 or you're stuck with them.
It's your car do what you want lol
