Has anyone installed the splash guards sold on "E" Bay? How easy to install? Do they protect the paint? Do they look ugly as hell? Are there better ones out there? I pick up my C6 coupe with 2LT and Z51 tomorrow afternoon and are concerned about protecting the paint

I got the Altec painted ones. Mid-America has them, I think. Cost about $120.00. Paint quality is better than factory. People either don't notice them or think they are factory. They do a fantastic job of keeping the rockers clean. IMO! Best investment I've made so far.

Contact Ed "Pipedreams" here on the forum, he'll set you up, easy to install and very unobtrusive.

Yes--get the ones from Pipedreams. They are easy to install, they blend in well and Ed has super service. I reinstalled mine after I had the 3M clear bra material installed just for extra protection. They are great.
