I put them on my 09 Z-51 and they look great! It took me longer to jack the car up, remove the tires, put the tires back on and put the car down than it did to install the parts. I had the opportunity to go non-GM and chose not to. GM guards cost a little more, but I think they are work it.

If I had to do it over again, I would!

Had a "Corvette Specialty Shop" put on Altec splash guards and I took em off as soon as I got the car home. They looked like absolute crap, like something on an 80s car. Got GM splash guards. They look great and should be standard on the Vette.

GM splash guards are the only ones that look like they belong, IMO. Well worth the money & I got mine from Kevin @ PartsTaxi also.

Best Corvette Accessory on the market today. Easy to install and they only cost about $100 shipped to your door.These little gems protect the paint from road debris impacting behind the front wheels, rear wheels and rocker panels. Just do it!

Yes they are well worth the 100 bucks. I just spent a delightful Saturday night putting mine on myself. It took about about 2 hours.

They are a great look (can barely see them) and a great fit wih easy install.

Get GM, well worth the money and great fitting, I installed Z06 mudflaps on my rear widebody and regular C6 on my front fenders. Parts Taxi has the set for a C6 for $89.95. Cannot go wrong with these.
