Default Mud flaps....I need snow tires!!!

Picked up my C6 on March 4th. With the snow and salt on the road, I just hit 64 miles!!! Can't wait for a good rain to clear off the roads.

I installed small black textured flaps on my C6. They extend about 2 inches.

What he shouldn't be doing is driving the car in snow or rain. It's not so much that the car gets wet, it's that the water thrown up on the car also has small stones and debri with it for nicks and chips to your paint.

The idea of putting mud flaps on a C6 begs for a clever analogy. Time for this thread to take a turn in that direction - I'm sure you have clever ideas...(I'll start):

Putting mudflaps on a Vette is like putting...

* T!ts on a bull

Ever think maybe a stylish flap may prevent some of the stone chips behind the doors many are experiencing? Seems to me the new Z06 has small flaps of it's own, but most can't say enough good things about it.

I agree! The right ones don't look bad and protect your paint. Maybe if GM designed the car so the tires stayed in the wheel wells flaps wouldn't even be an issue.

They really aren't "Mud Flaps". Mud Flaps are those things that hang down on the rear of 18 wheelers.

Don't get mud flaps. Get some splash guards.
