That sounds too good to be true, that is why I was thinking clear protection but if I don't have to drill, I'll be ordering the splash guards myself.

Do you have to take the tires off for installation?
You do not have to drill any holes or remove the tires. Tip for the fronts is whichever side you are working on, turn the wheel towards you. Makes it easier.

They do work, and they do "blend" in with the tires. The install IS easy ... if you get all of the parts it will make sense. * The front splitter and the rear valance are the same color and very nearly the same texture so they look almost factory. The rounded ones look nice, but appear "chunkier at the top. ??!!

* Sorry Ed, just couldn't help myself.

Default Altec Color Match

I installed Altec color match front and rear for my 07 coupe. Purchased from West Coast Corvette. Really adds something extra to the look of the car.

I feel stupid but do you need to order the 'extra rear clip' or does the set come with enough for both rear guards?

I just went to order but wanted to ask first. Thanks.

Yes they come with the clips. If, however, you don't get them, Ed will send them to you pronto.

I suspect this thread will be locked, because of age and because Pipe is no longer a vendor here.

Wouldn't the Z06 splash guards (don't call them mud flaps!) be right for a GS? Does your car already have them?

We had Pipe's splash guards on our 2006 Coupe, they worked ok but did look somewhat "home made". We don't use amythng on the 2009 Coupe and it seems to be doing ok, any minor chips get covered by dust in the first 5 miles anyway.

I see. Actually GS has the same flaps as the Z06 I think, but I was looking for some extra protection anyway since I'll put race tires on in summer time for HPDE events and they're known to throw rocks around! I ordered the cleartastic clear films last night.

Thanks for the reply!
