I think the GM Splash Guards are the best looking. I bought mine from Partstaxi.com, but GMpartshouse.com would have them also. The front ones go on real easy, the rear ones will require you to remove the rear wheels and drill mounting holes in to the existing black plastic fender liners. Not a big deal at all, and you can find the correct sized bit at Lowes. Just carefully line the splash guards up and use them as templates for the hole locations.

The best looking splash guards in my humble opinion are the Z06 Style Long Splash Guards from www.apsisusa.com.
I had a set installed on my 08 coupe shortly after I took delivery of it back in December 07.
They do an excellent job of protecting the quarter and rocker panels from dreaded road rash paint damage.
You'll notice that the Apsis splash guards are wider than the thin measly GM splash guards.
They will protect more area along the sides of your car.
I now have 50,000 miles on the odometer and my quarter and rocker panels are still in pristine condition.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
BTW-I had an 05 coupe before trading it in on the 08 coupe.
I didn't install splash guards on the 05 coupe.
As a result my 05 coupe suffered all kinds of paint damage to the sides of the car from road debris
being tossed up by the wide tires.
So I was determined not to let that happen to my 08 coupe.
The Apsis splash guards have kept that road debris from damaging the sides of my car and more.
Here's my 08 coupe arriving at my Chevy dealer after its short trip up
the Ohio Turnpike from the Bowling Green Assembly plant.
I had these stylish splash guards installed after delivery.

The guards that most of us are using are the Genuine Corvette Accessory Splash Guards (Part #19170234) available through GM dealers and forum vendors. They aren't that wide and almost "disappear" when installed on a standard C6. Check the links below for more info...
