Tom,
I just put GCA splash guards on mine a few weeks ago. I had the Nakid parts ones for 3 years and they served well but these new chevy ones fit and look much better. Purchased from Fichtners, sorry I do not have pictures but if you search you will see many.
To order call Tom or Bob at 800-234-5284 or email them at parts@fichtnerchevrolet.com

I agree the gm's are great. I put on the fronts this afternoon and it went just as advertised. I am trying to figure out how to drill the rears without taking the wheels off. I got mine from Gene and the mailing was really quick.

I have installed both. The 2009 GCA guard is very understated and fits the fender contour of narrow body C-6's very nice. The modified Z0-6 guards for the rear are a little wide for a narrow body standard C-6. Look at both guards and make the call yourself. Both do the job.
My personal choice would be the GCA guards painted body color if installed on a standard body C-6.

As I said above, I love the GM guards. But... Painting them draws your attention to them and I don't love them that much. Stay with black and they disappear. That's the best thing you say for a splash guard.

I put my Nakid ones on at the museum and just got in my GCA ones and they will be going on at the oil change as I like the look better

I thought the NakidParts fronts and modified ZO6 rears were the best combination before the GM guards came out. The GM guards should be a factory installed part because they finish off the look of the wheel well as well as protect the paint. The ZO6 gets splash guards, why not do it for the regular C6?
