No offense but they look goofy on a vette....My wife saw some on a 04 LMB coupe and commented how silly they looked on a vette! (she is not a car person either!)

I've used splash guards on many of my vehicles, but I feel they degrade
the vette appearance. I opted for the 3m protective film behind each
wheel and the rocker panels. The stuffs great guarding against chips but
dust still collects. Heres pics of mine if your interested;

Also...or would it be better to use the clear protection systems we've seen advertised?

Thanks for your feedback
The clear product are great, and expensive.

I have mud flaps on both my Verts - painted to match the cars color.

I have used these on all 6 of my C5's. They have assisted in keepiong the dirt, and damage from road hazzards, from my Vettes.

Would recommend these highly.
