Splash Guards
I have a 2003 TR Z06 and wondering if anybody is using the APSIS Splash guards for the C5 Z06. I am looking at getting some. I am running with 18x10.5 295's on all wheel's.
I installed the GM guards on the C6 and these look similar to those.
Post pic if you have them installed on your Vette.
Is there any difference from C5 Base or Z06 for fitment.
I looked at the ones on Ecklers site and they don't look as sharp with clean lines.
Thanks for any help.

I have had them installed for a year now. Only ones that can withstand autocross cone contact and survive. Did require some modification to fit good and I screwed them in place for my use. those are 315's frt and 335's rears and they do protect the paint

I had a C6 and did HPDE but went back to C5Z so I can put it on track. Seems to have better performance. I am looking for something that can withstand some or a little abuse. I have a square setup for HPDE. Mine is also a TR. They look good where did you all have them painted.
I was thinking of keeping them black.

Just depends on how fussy you are, just little grinds near the top to fit without any small gaps. The screws help pull it up tighter. I needed to grind off some of the inside the fender well part on the back side because the 315's up front rubbed the guard when turning. I used spray cans on the guards and frt splitter with clear coat that people can't tell from a shop paint job. Actually pretty easy if you take your time.
