I've had the "Pipedreams" flaps on for over 6 months and the sides of my cars are like new. One of the best investments I've made.

I live on a dirt and stone road and the mud flaps are a must. GM colored license plate frame looks good.

Default license plate frame

I bought a chrome license plate frame with the C6 logo and caps to cover the screws - - from a Florida Corvette parts supplier for just under forty bucks.

I just like the subtle trim at the rear of the car - - might be different if you had that diffuser panel around the back up lights or the bright filler panel between the exhaust outlets . . .but I like the looks of the frame.

And I think I'm gonna pop for the rear splash guards.

I'm not sure exactly which make of mud flaps you're contemplating but I think they're a good idea. The last 1/2 mile or so to my house is down a lousy dirt road so I'm a believer. A gram of prevention is worth a kilo of cure (go metric). Black mud flaps go well with Red.

I'm in the splash guard camp, too.

Either spring for a set or make your own as an easy and inexpensive DIY project.

Very easy to install, only wish I would have done it earlier as it would have saved unnecessary damage. I went with all four and suggest the same. My car is Mag Red and the black guards blend in so well that most people don't notice them.
