Default Mud flaps...

Can anyone recommend a vendor where I can buy mud flaps for my 2013 GS? I checked with Top Flight but they said theirs won't fit the GS. I just want to protect the paint from whatever gets flipped up by those huge tires. Thanks

One of the most popular are from www.eapsisusa.com. We, as well as many of our GS/Z06 friends, have bought the front splash guards from them. http://eapsisusa.com/cart/index.php?...oducts_id=1464

Costly but work well.

Let's call em Splash Guards

Mud Flaps belong on 18 wheelers & off road vehicles

Having spent a great deal of time sitting behind a Mack dog, I thought the same thing as I typed in the heading but couldn't think of "splash"...

You can also go with cleartastic style protection (Instead of the flaps) that puts basically a clear bra in the areas that usually get smacked by rocks (For both GS and Z06)

Am hoping to get my Z06 back from the body shop today after having dings repaired on the rear quarters (Looked like somebody had taken a shotgun full of rock salt to the quarters)

Got mine from Apsis, their customer service is great and they carry quality products. They're better than the factory ones as they are black all they way through so you don't see the stone chips, easy to install and look great. They mount right over the factory ones.

They look very nice. Did you go with the wide or narrow version? How difficult were they to install?

They're the wide version, and super easy to install. They go right over your existing splash guards and you re-use the screw holes and screws from factory. I did add an extra screw and hole at the top corner for an extra tight fit. They hold up nicely too because they're black all they way through unlike other versions. Even the factory ones show the stone chips as light gray, these make stone chips less obvious.
