Congrats on finding another source & getting back in the game Ed!

While all of us would certainly prefer to run without something like this they are absolute paint savers and since I actually drive my car it's worth this small compromise to keep the paint as intact as possible

Default Great product, welcome back

For any doubters, forgetaboutit!!! I put a set on my car before heading home from NCM in March and drove across country to Lake Tahoe, NV. I drive my car around Tahoe all the time, daily driver in summer (stored all winter) and with the sand and gravel, I would never be without a set of Ed's guards.

My Monterey Red Vert look as good as new and I now have almost 8k miles (3k just getting home from NCM). No sand blasting behind wheels for me or my vert!!

These should be the required first mod on any C6.

The rears blend in so well, they look like they are part of the rear black platic panel over the exhaust.

I've had them on my C6 for a few months and like everything Ed makes and sells there top notch. The installation took no more than 10 minuets.

My car did not leave BG without the flaps on. On a black car they are invisible.

Ed, thanks--just ordered a set I was disappointed a few months back when you had returned my email saying you were no longer making these. Now I understand and appreciate why. Glad they're back

Thats a really great looking mudflap and I didn't even think about needing something like that but it makes sense. Will you still be making these available in December?

APsis has carbon fiber rear mud guards for C5 Z06s. I talked with a rep of their's at Carlisle last month and he said they are working to make some Z06 stile for standard C6s (I just visited the site the rear guards are already available) and also to make some that are similar for the front fenders. Well, wait and see. www.apsisusa.com These products are EXPENSIVE

They look nice, but I'm not crazy about the carbon fiber. Too bad they don't make them in plain black plastic.

We got ours from Ed last spring. Look and work great. Ed is first class in doing buisness. Couldn't complain about anything we've bought from him!

Thanks for bringing them back Ed! They have been on my car from day 1. One of the best mods I have put on my car (right along with Ed’s fuse box cover, Alt. cover, crome caps etc. ). As others have stated, they are barely noticeable and one could argue that they actually look like they belong there.

The first day i got my car the town repaved a couple of the main roads and little pieces of asphult were kicking up everywhere! . I wanted to cry. Now i'll feel a little better with those mini-mud flaps on my C6,
