The only one's for the Vette are the one's made by GM. Very nice. I would bet they will be on the Vette in 2010. Just like they are available on the Z06. Must other guards look like they belong on a truck.

Around a $100 or so. But, you get what you pay for.

I have the GCA splash guards on my car. They blend in with the black tires very well. Looks factory and adds more protection than stock without sticking out like a sore thumb.

The ones that Pipedreams (actually Son-of-Dreams now) sells over at nakidparts.com are great. They protect the sides of the car well, and don't stick out at all. Most people don't even notice them.

I love my GM splashguards, they integrate so well into the car, and at $100, you can't beat them.

Thanks, we developed our own product 3yrs ago and have been a best seller on the forum, no drilling, no tape and more protection, remove them anytime, only $49 and you will hardly know you have them on as they blend into the color of the tires reguardless of the color of your car.

I have been using these for 1 year. After 9400 miles, they have performed great and no damage the the rocker panels from road debris. The GCA's looks nice, but Nakid Parts Splash Guards provide a lot more protection.

I just installed the Nakid Parts Splashguards. I was expecting a longer install time, but it was easy, took just a few minutes.
I like the way they look, very subtle.

Usually the best thing you can say about the appearance of splash guards is that you don't notice them. With the GM guards, they actually enhance the appearance of the wheel well while offering the necessary protection. That is, if you do notice them.
