Corvette Splash Guard Kit - GM 4-Piece : C6

Has any one installed these splash guards? The Corvette Forum store has them for $113.25 and a picture but the picture does not really show how they look. Would appreciate any feedback on appearance.

Thanks

They look good. You will barely notice them. They are very easy to install.

be sure to find the thread about using a Sharpie on the exposed ends of the adhesive to prevent the color from showing.

I agree... I need to remove mine to do this... The white 3M tape shows a little on my rear ones.

We have sold hundreds of sets! Everyone loves them.
Easy to install, very effective, and barely noticeable.
When noticed they still look great!

They're great. Easy to install, looks good and helps keep things clean. A great mod to do. Quick to do, the worse part is removing the rear wheels, but how often do the inside of the rims get cleaned that good.

As others have said....lots of threads on the GM splash guards and they look great! Here are a couple of pics; hope these help you.

Note: In this pic, the guard is not coming loose at the bottom but is a light reflection from camera....

A must mod, especially if you drive your Vette, instead of being a garage queen

I believe the installation instructions indicate drilling holes for the rear splash guards. Do you have to take the wheels off to install properly???
Thanks

Yes, but this gives you a chance to detail your wheel wells and the inner barrels of your wheels .
