GM Splash Guards
I live in Kansas City, Mo. I'm to shaky to put on a set of GM splash guards on my 08 Convertible. Does anybody know of a shop that would do this at a reasonable price?

Have you tried posting this on your Regional Forum?
There's a good chance some local Corvette Club members would be happy to help you out.
Good Luck, they're a nice addition to the C6.

I'm sure that there are members in the KC area that could do the install for you. Post over in regional events and see what you get.

did mine in like 1/2 hour....not too happy with the fit of the passenger rear so I had to mod it a little. The other 3 fit perfect.
Hardest part was taking the rear wheels off. Jacking the car was simple I went and purchased a $50.00 AC delco jack that was on sale for $20.00 and positioned it under the jacking point on the car. Anyone that says you need some fancy $200 low profile jack and funky pucks is wrong.

I did it today
After reading all the excellent posts and especially the one Black08 did, I ordered a set of GM Splash Guards. I put them on today. I was a bit apprehensive, I have early Parkinson's and am a little shaky. Anyway, I took the leap and they came out great! Great instructions and using the correct drill bit and taping the rears in place and then drilling did the trick. I replaced Ed's splash guards. I had them since Oct 07, they did a fine job, but just don't have the looks of the GM set. Anyway, thanks again to all the forum members for their input

I just ordered mine from a forum vendor. Hmmm...so you have to take the wheels off. It is my understanding that you also have to drill an additional hole for the rear ones. I am also told that there is a shortage of these things. A 3 to 4 week delivery. Ugh!
