Default Splash Guard HELP! Can't Find anywhere!

Anybody know where you can find solid molded splash guards for a C6 like the ones on the Z06?


I dont like the thin mud-flap-esque ones I have seen. Looks like they're stolen off a semi, or from Britney Spear's ******. Doesnt look OEM at all.

Im trying to find the unpainted plain grey/black ones (just like the stock Z06) if ANYBODY has seen em. Appreciate it!

the molded, Z06 style, to my knowledge, only come from apsisusa.com. they are not inexpensive, but sometimes you do get what you pay for. be advised there are two "models", short and long. difference in price, too.

Two problems with the Apsis ones, First you have to drill holes (but you probably do for all the "Z06" style ones). Second they are very rigid and, if you hit them on a speed bump or whatever, they may crack off their mounting points, hopefully without cracking the fender...

I like Ed's, very flexible and almost invisible. And no holes...

Ed's (Pipedreams) are virtually invisible, but they do the job they were intended to do.

I think you are looking for the ZO6 guards modified for the C6.

Well that's because they do look like mudflaps, but out of all the other ones I've seen these are the least noticeable.

We like to set the record straight.

Our Molded Splash Guards don't require drilling holes. We do offer an option to include one extra screw for each wheel if customer wants to have extra security. But it's up to car owner's decision.

Each product has its pro & con. We offer different choices to community.

If you guy like the "Flat" Mud Flap, we also have it for $39/set. Requiring no drilling too and no big metal clips.
