From what I've seen (sorry, no pics) they don't fit quite right.

I have them on mine and actually they are a little wide for the back with the 10 inch wheels and OEM tires. They look better with the 11 inch wheels and wider rear tires. I would just put the 2009 GCA splash guards on and be done with it if you are running the OEM wheels and tires.

Apsis makes a good looking mud flap that is contoured to a standard body. I put the rears on last week they look great and fit perfect. I am going to get fronts now. Unfortunately I don't know how to post a picture. pm me and I'll email a pic

I think little paint chips are less ugly than stone guards. I just keep a touch up paint bottle handy.

Perfect fit, no cutting, easy install, inexpensive, and look like they belong.

Got my long version C6, zo6 style splash guards from APSIS this week front and back and installed them. They are WITHOUT A DOUBT the finest available. They fit, look and install fantastically. I am hard to please. These are the BEST the market has to offer. The weather has been bad here I will post pics in a few days. Watch for it. Go to APSISUSA.com to check them out. You will NOT be Disappointed.

The Z06 splash guards are designed to fit with the shape and width of the of Z06 rear quarter panels. They are pre-molded to that shape. That shape is different when compared to the size and shape of the non-Z06 quarter panel. A few members have shown that with enough patience, heat, work and double sided tape, they can be made to fit and look good. To me it simply isn't worth the effort. Further, only the Z06 rear splash guards are available for purchase. The front are actually part of the inner fender liner. If you want front and rear you will need to further modify the rear splash guards to fit on the front.
Genuine Corvette Accessories manufactures and sells a Z06 style splash guard designed specifically to fit the non-Z06. They come in a set of four and look and fit great. The install is very straight forward. That would be my recommendation over the Z06 style.

I modified the ZO6 guards for the rear of my previous 05 and thought they were the best looking and the cheapest guards at the time. But I always hated the way they bulged at their midpoint beyond the body line. As is this photo:

Now in comparison look how flush and inconspicuous the GM guards are:

And the fronts also blend in with the car lines and are almost undetectable. (Always a good thing with mudflaps.)

I think the GM guards are the best choice for protection and actually enhancing the look of the wheel wells like on the ZO6.
