Default Rear splash guards
I am looking for options on rear splash guards, looked at Stealth, they might be ok on a pick up truck, looked at Apsis, need to rob a bank first, only thing i see and maybe could get used to is C6 Z rear splash guards. Is much involved on trimming them to fit ?

Stealth look OK an a C5 too, because you really don't notice them. Any other splash guards stick out like a sore thumb.

I agree. You hardly notice them on mine.

Have you ever seen them on a C5? Probably not, because they are pretty hard to see. Any other splash guards look like crap on a C5. So you can put some on that look like crap or you can put on guards that no one will notice.

I really don't give a crap if people notice them or not I want something that works, and the c6 ZO6 ones are 3qsy to look at and not notice. In case you wanted to look at them.

I was just looking for options, not looking for a crap show. If one doesn't have an opinion on what they use or care to share that's fine it's your business don't need the stupid comments though

If it were my car, I would buy the C6Z splash guards and trim them, to fit. They aren't cheap either though and used ones are not very easy to find.

C6 Z06 Splash guards on a C5 look like crap.

I have the RPI guards on mine. I wanted the C6 style, but could not justify the money

That's a matter of opinion. They do the job, though.

I like the look as well.

Thats your opinion.

On a serious note, I like the C6Z on a wide body which is what they were designed for.
The stock C5 fenders are almost flush and the C6Z guards seem bigger on them.

I have a file that shows what forum members jdmvette and DeeGee did to get a set of C6 Z splash guards to work on a C5. The file is too large to make as an attachment on the forum, but I would be glad to send it to you if you PM me your e-mail address.
