probably not a bad idea around our area. I am thinking of getting a set myself. If I do I think I might paint mine on the outside though. I like how the front can go on using existing pushpin locations. Drilling holes for the rear doesn't really bother me but if i ever decide I don't want them I will still have to leave the plugs in the holes.

Can someone advise me if the 2010 Grand Sport comes with any type of mud guard? I have a GS ordered and would not want to drive it home from Bowling Green without the mud guards.

Only on the rear. The front is really what you need to prevent damage on widebodies. Search "APSIS guards" and you'll see alot of info.

Thanks for the info. I will check out the GM Front splash guards. I do like the ones from APSIS, but I agree with others, the $320 for two pieces of plastic is very high. Maybe someone has pictures of the GM Front splash guards on a GS or Z06?

Here is a link to the APSIS ones people talk about. I personally don't like them as much especially the fronts. Maybe they protect a little bit more but they look twice as ridiculous imo.

The only company that makes front splash guards for a Grand Sport is Apsis. They run about $320. They match the rear factory splash guards so it is a very factory look.
I did a Corvette Museum delivery in January and had a 2,000 mile trip home. I shipped the splash guards to the museum so they would be there when I took delivery. I had them on within the first 50 miles. They worked great.

Well techinically it does have them on the front. The ones pictured above are the same ones in this photo. The fronts on the Z06/GS don't stick out like the rears do though.

The APSIS guards look like the stock rear ones. Ask the Z06 guys what happens without them.

1. They are not on any base model C6
2. If you buy the GM factory splash guard "set" as stated above that is what you get.
