Apsis splash guard need answer
Bought the Apsis splash guards for my Grand sport. Passenger side fits great nice and tight to the fender. Drivers side has huge gap. Seems you have to put allot of pressure to get rid of the gap. Just wondering if screw would hold it. Anyways I don't like the fit Thanks. P.S you might see these on really cheap if I don't solve this issue

I just got done installing them myself and yes, they require a bit of coaxing in order to fit snug against the fender. Just be sure to tighten the screw at the bottom "snugly" but not too much as it's only a sheet metal screw into a speed nut.

fitted mine yesterday, I could't use the original bottom screws they are too short adding the guards, so i used the long ones supplied.
put the bottom on loose, had a mate push them into position and screwed the screw into the hole up higher and it fits fine on both sides.
took 10 mins on the first one and 5 mins on the other side
anyone else notice the bottom of the guard is loose on the grand sports even before and after fitting the guards.

Too bad GM don't sell just the front splash guards as a separate item ... at a fair price.
$300 bucks for 2 small pieces of molded plastic is crazy expensive for what you are getting!
Just my opinion

I love how a pair of 2 cent splash guards for the Corvette cause so much controversy. I really wish **rhymes with Grapsis*** would come to their senses and charge a reasonable amount for these, instead of gouging an eager Corvette owner with more cash than brains. Oh well, I guess you can't fault them.

Same problem on my Z06 (ZR1 guards w/rubber edge $400!). Very disappointing based on the price paid. Fitment and quality is what I would have expected at about $100. I guess I'll be making another hole in the inner fender to get the fitment right
