Default Mud Guards? Anyone have them?
Which are best looking functional mud guards? I'd like a set that flows with the car. I'm getting too many rock chips and should finally do this. Thanks for any help you can provide.

These were on my car when I picked it up a couple years ago. They were promptly removed the following morning. I just couldn't do it.

Maybe consider some paint protection film in those areas instead of mud guards..?

On my last C5, I had a set of Stealth Splash Guards from RPI Designs. Cheap, not overly noticable, and worked well to keep debris from being thrown up on the side of the car.

Thank you everyone. Definately going to check these out. I saw the RPI ones but wondered how they look on the car. I'll look into the L5's and Apsis as well. Appreciate the help.

I have the type you removed, they work well. You may not like the look, but they do protect.

Well no more L5's (place doesn't exist) and Apsis has no price on them. I'm sure they a lot though. I don't care for the RPI ones. Looks like this idea is on hold.
