Default altec splash guards

Does anyone have altec splash guards on their C6, if so do you have any pictures of them installed? How much drilling is involved?

drilling involved. I still have the rear set if you are interested. at that time the car was lowered and the front set would drag the ground over a speed bump so i sent the fronts back

I used to have them - until the GM ones were marketed. I changed to the GM splash guards. They are absolutely superior to Altec. MANY happy users of the GM splash guards on this forum.

Altec splash guards look like sh*t! I had them on my car for an hour after I had a Vette shop install them without me first seeing them. They drilled holes and laughed at how bad they looked. Leave it to say, I was PISSED. They looked like they were painted by some amateurs in their garage. The color didn't match as claimed and they don't look as though they belong on a C6. Get the GM ones. I did and they covered the holes that the installer drilled to put on the crappy Altec splash guards.
