Default Front Splash guards???

What front splash guards are you guys running and do you like them?
Any pics would be great also.

I am running 18x10.5 Z06 wheels in front and the kick up a bit more road debris than the stock size fronts..

Thanks

Check out the L5 splash guards at Lewisfivemotorsports.com. I have their rear splash guards and I'm currently thinking about putting a set on the front also, the rears fit and look great, I also had mine painted to match the car. They are a tad pricey thought.

I can't stand front splash guards. But.............
Large tires in the front and you start to get road rash on the lower
fender. I fixed the rash and bought a low profile splash guard
that you hardly notice. I don't worry about the lower fenders
anymore.

Have you considered using the clear film?

I don't use either but have seen both alternatives installed and think the film
looks better.

I use Venture Shield clear film. It has taken a beating and eventually I'll have it replaced. Easier and cheaper than repainting.

Well I had a issue with the vendor and I refused to buy from him.
This went on for a ncouple of years and I finally relented.
I bought the smaller splash guards from RPI.
You can hardly see the guards in the picture but they are there.
