Take a look at the rear wheels on mine. . . you can hardly tell that they're there. Sorry I don't have a pic taken from the rear, yet. Soon, tho'.

I had the guards from nakidparts originally and they worked well and looked fine. I switched to the GM splash guards when they came out because they also work but are even more discrete. I like them very much. YMMV.

Here is a pic of the Altec rear splashguards that I purchased on sale from Eckler's. It was late in the day, lighting was the best. . . 
I chose these larger size guards because of the road conditions where I live. Discreet ones are simply inadequate in the northern New Mexico mountains.

I have a new set of front and rear Nakid Parts splash guards for sale, that I never used. Still in the original packaging. Check out my link here

2025 C8 of the Year Finalist - Modified
I have tried several different types of splash guards on my car (Pipedreams, Apsis, Z06 and GM) and I like the GM splash guards the best in terms of overall function and looks. Each of them have their pros and cons, but the GM Genuine Corvette Assessory splash guards are the best combination of function and price at around $100 for a set of four.
In terms of the others the Pipedreams splash guards are the least expensive and very functional, although they aren't the best looking. The good thing about them though is most people don't even notice them. The Apsis splash guards fit great and work well, but they are too big and are pricey by comparison with other options. I also shattered the bottom of one of my Apsis front splash guards turning into a driveway because it hung down so far below the bottom of the car. I still have the Z06 splash guards on the rear of my car, but they have to be modified to make them fit on a standard C6.
