I need to get these for my white coupe, local dealer quoted me $200 for part + install is that a decent price? I know I could probably install the fronts myself but no way in hell I am taking a drill to the body for the rears.
I think I paid $105 from Gene. Honestly, as long as you have someone helping you, the rear install is a piece of cake. You do have to take the wheels off...but you get it all positioned, mark it, drill it, done.

I got mine from Gene also (great price & service). Remember you're not drilling into the body, just the inner plastic wheel well. Just make sure you have the correct size drill bit. Forgot the size but it is in the instructions .
Seems worth the price to have the dealer do it, I am in a condo parking garage and don't have the space nor resources to remove the wheels and start drilling holes.
dang, i've seen pics of both now and can't make up my mind. they both look awesome, but the APSIS seems like it would be a bit more protective... decisions, decisions...

You don't have to take the wheels off to do the APSISUSA ones. Youa ctually don't have to drill any holes (I did but I'm the nervous type)

Got the GM OEM ones from Gene. After ordering them, they were at my door in 3 days. Yes, drilling involved, but it wasn't a big deal. I'd recommend Gene any day!
If memory doesn't fade me, the drill size was 21/64th.
If you really don't want to do it yourself, reasonable.

Just to make sure, is that $200 for JUST the part plus more for the install? My comment in the subject line is for the part AND the labor. I think $200 complete would be a good price but you could easily save almost $100 if you do it yourself.

yes $200 was with the install. They wanted $125 for just the part
I think the GM splash guards are just the right size for the protection needed on the coupe / convertible fenders. The wider APSIS guards are more appropriately sized for the flared fenders of the ZO6 or wide bodied Vettes.
