Not difficult to install. Look fine installed. I used the OEM type designed for the vehicle.

Have been investigating this myself. At our local gathering I have seen three styles. The stock C6 seem to be a bit small to do any good, but install easily. You can try the Aepsis but there is some fitting required , and they cost more. The Z06 guards look good but there is some trimming and cutting required to make then fit and look good. No answer but I hope this helps. I still have,nt done anything, maybe won,t.

For around $100 bucks..the stock GM splash guards can't be beat IMHO. Look good...fit perfect.

They look like the car was made with them and they work.

I went with these http://www.mamotorworks.com/corvette...-305-6776.html

Just a couple minutes to install with no drilling.

GM guards are a perfect fit becuase they are OEM parts. About $100 or so and 20 minutes and you are done.

I finally put OEM's on last weekend after waiting for 62 degrees. I bought them in January but it's been a long, cold winter. The front ones are really easy and take about 5 minutes...the back ones require drilling into the inner fender wells for installatioin and take a bit longer. I think the temperature requirement for the OEM (Gene Culley) is 62 to 85 degrees. The GS and Z06 have splash guards; all Corvettes should have them! They look great and give the wheel wells a more sophisticated, and finished look.

I pulled my OEM C6 splash guards off the rear and replaced them with OEM Z06/GS rear splash guards. They look great! Took a bit of planning, trimming, twisting, but they came out looking factory installed and almost make my Vette look like a wide body (My wheel offset also pushes the tires almost out of the fender).
Will try to get pics tomorrow.

Me to fit great, small but effective and not hard to put on
Mine look like they were factory installed and it took about 2 hours working slow.

I bought the OEM guards from Gene Culley at GM Parts House. Easy installation and they look as if they came from the factory that way -- and they should have.

Here are my OEM Z06 guards. Came out great. Not even the slightest gap in the fitting.
