Re: Mud Guards (Z06ufgrad2002)
I am using the Altec molded and painted stone guards. The fit is quite good with a little sanding. You just have to take your time when you install them and make sure they fit perfectly before doing any drilling.
I don't have any paint chips behind the wheels.
Around the rear brake ducts; now that's a different story. That is the area we really need something for protection.

When painted and put on propoerly they can be very subtle. I do agree I prefer the car without them but the chips really show up on dark colors, so I made a compromise.

Where you did get the ABS ones?

Mid-America Designs. I think 602-268 is the p/n, and the price is $39.99 for four. Smoke Lexan is the same price, but the reflectivity may draw attention to them and is probably a drawback. Page 5-14 of the current C5 catalog has an illustration, and they're likely available elsewhere.
As I mentioned and contrary to the instructions, drilling is not required for the rear units. The single screw in the wheelwells hold them adequately. The fronts use existing screws.

I know they are not that great looking, but I can't say I dislike them alot. I just picked up a set and will get them painted to match and put them on, I did the same with my 96, and when I removed them the paint was fine. I live in area with a ton of contruction and stuff always seems to be on the ground. They also helped alot when i autocrossed the 96.
