I had both on. Got tired of the clear film coming off or lifting when I washed/waxed the car, plus after a while the rear clear film started to yellow. I removed the clear and have not gotten a mark on either the front or rear fenders with only the GM splashguards.

I have had clear film professionally installed on my front bumper, hood, headlights, fog/driving lights, rear view mirrors, rocker panels, & rear fenders (brake air inlet area & flared fender area). I love it! Can't see unless you feel the edge with your finger. Wash & wax my car ALL the time (very **** retentive) and it's fine! When waxed water beads just like the normal finish. Cheap compared to repainting or new lights.

Clear film I am describing is self applied with a squeegee, not like the film that you have that is professionally applied and not going anywhere. Not sure which type the OP is referring to, assumed it was the one that I had used as he only mentioned the fenders, and if splash guards were just as effective.

I have the GM splashguards and they are just about perfect. They look good and blend in well with the lines of the wheel openings, but they keep everything off the side of the car including armor all tire dressing.

The problem we have with the GS / Z06 is that GM don't offer a front splash guard like they do for the narrow fendered G6s ... and the front splash guard avail. for the base C6 don't fit on the GS / Z06.
Why they fail to offer front splash guards for the wide body Vettes is what I can't understand.

Just finished the install of GM's on mine. Couldn't have been easier. I showed them to my wife and she said "if you hadn't pointed them out to me, I never would have noticed them" 
Guess that's good though.
