These are NOT the Mid America guards I am talking about. Like I said, the ones I am talking about look much better and match the contour of the body. they are also priced at $49, rather than the $69 price on the ones you pictured - Just ckeck out their web site. I have seen both guards in person and the Mid America guards do a much better job of matching the appearance of the existing trim, but both are pretty subtle.

has anyone put many miles on their cars with these flaps? I saw a thread where someone thought turbulence may be kicking up rocks into the panels.

I'm planning on buying a set.

BTW, looks like the eBay splash guard guy has a web site now - at least it looks like the same guy as the original ones: http://www.c6dreams.com/index.html

Ordered mine from www.c6dreams.com. Great seller. Fast shipment via USPS. Haven't installed them yet but they look good.

Received mine yesterday from C6dreams , just in the nick of time (12 inches of snow in the last three days, high 50s today, but lots of crud still on the roads). I installed the fronts last night in my garage in less than 10 minutes, and will put the rears on today at noon.

This is a great product, can't say enough about the seller and the fast service (shipped via USPS priority mail). If you live where the roads generally have crap on them, and you want to drive your vette MORE than less, I highly recommend these!

Are we allowed to post dirty vette photos? Here's how the C6Dreams (eBay) guard looked after an 800-mile pounding on sand/salt/molassis/brine-covered roads (hit some weather returning from my Museum Delivery!). They seem to have blocked all direct hits coming off the tread. When I washed it, the painted surfaces were still perfect. The rear guards performed similarly well.
