Splash Guards
I want to try to protect my new White Vert from stone chips, I see that Pipedreams has them for sale, I have bought a number of things from Ed and am sure that his are a great product, but I would like to know what other options are out there, I like the ZO6 type which are different from what Ed has, can anyone furnish some options of others I
shoul look at?

GM came out with some nice molded guards, I do still sell mine and they install with no tape or need to drill holes, they are 1/2 the price and offer a little more protection IMO, they are still a good option IMO

I went with Pipedreams since they seemed to offer the most protection for the lowest price. The GM ones were 2x the price and less protection, and I'm more of a function over form kinda guy. Apsis ones are nice from what I can tell, but extremely expensive.

I purchased my flaps from Pipedreams.....I am very very very happy with them. They were a snap to install and IMO look great. Also, if you have NPP exhaust I would get the Mild2Wild switch which Pipedreams also sells. Once again, a SNAP to install and well worth the money.

You'll find many opinions but if you do choose the GM ones, still do a search for the proper installation procedure.
And note that while pipedream's guards may not look so spiffy, they do the job. And he's being modest in that it provides a little more than a little more protection. That said, it isn't as if the GM GCA's don't do anything; they do. And then there's the APSIS ones and they are good, too. It's a matter of aesthetics (looks) and costs. You decide.

I put the GM ones on my 08 and they look great and are easy to install, does take drilling a couple holes in the rear inside fender skirt, just the plastic liner not a big deal, also the rear tires need to come off to make drilling the holes easier. Good luck
