I like mine. I would definitely buy and install them again. I think they look great on the car and they do offer some protection.

I am happy with mine and feel that they do offer quite a bit of protection from flying stones. Gene Culley at GM PartsHouse can fix you up.

I just bought mine about a month ago but it's been too cold to install them. Ambient temperature requirement for installation is 61 degrees and we haven't seen that here in a long time. I took my old ones from pipedreams off and I've placed a rear one into position and they look great. The rear wheel well openings look incomplete without them. I think GM should put them on all C6's ...not just the GS and Z06.

Most of us with splash guards are using these. They get the job done and blend into the lines of the car like they were factory pieces.

One tip to make your life easier.

If you have the GM screens on your front-fender side vents, they use two of the mounting holes shared by this splash guard and the fender liner.

That's 4 pieces you are trying to pin together. Screen support, fender, liner and splash guard.

Order a bag of the longer plastic pin/rivet things from Gene Culley (GMPartsHouse) and save yourself some frustration.

I even ended up using a small piece of 3M double-sided tape to hold the screen piece in place before trying to insert the pins through the splash guards/etc.

They cost about $105.00 for the set of four if I remember right. Easy install!

Why these cars don't come with them from the factory I'll never know.

I got mine from Gene at GM Parts House. Quick and easy installation. Looks as if it came that way from the factory.

Be sure to use black marker on the outside edge of the tape as it is visible on alot of installations.

I have driven all winter, on dry roads of course, with mine. I am sure they are keeping the rocks and sand from blasting off my paint. I have noticed there is a little low pressure area behind them where dust collects but it is easily removed. Later! Frank
