Default Get Splash Guards

Same thing, different customer. Bought a set of Pipedreams splash guards. Went on easy, about 15-20 minutes. Washed the Vette first then installed the splashguards. Went for a spin. Before I would get road crap all down the side of the car. With the guards on car was still nice and clean. If you own a Vette do your car a favor and get these guards.

Pipedream's flaps... Hardly visible even on white. But very effective.

Thinking of getting color coded paint splash guards.I think they would match the car better. Any opinions on this one.

BigJoe thanks for the pics. Hands to cold to hold the camera.
The black splash guards from pipedreams are great. Easy install and the best part you cant notice them unless you point them out. Dont get painted ones they IMO will be quite noticeable. Even on the White C6 they seem to disapear.

Mine are on the car. Really you can't see them unless you are right near the car. Unlike rock chips they are also removable. I wouldn't rule out Venture Shield in the area though. Ed's products are great though.
