Cancelled due to back order. But the apsis is too much just for a pair of splash guards. Any sale in near future?

I already had this link. I never found them all I found when I went to C6 Corvette was:
C6 Corvette
Aero Kit
Black Carbon
Burlwood
Chrome Products
Illuminated Door Sill
Lamination Titanium Carbon
Matching GM Carbon
Painted Parts
Silver Carbon

Within all these I cannot find splash guards...
....If I use the search function I get splash guards for C5s and more side skirts....

Honestly, I need pictures etc. and a good link directly to the product before I drop 300 + dollars for some splash guards.

Here is the link everyone to see pictures for a grandsport: http://www.apsisusa.com/C6%20or%20Z0...%20Version.htm

Questions:
1. Narrow Version and standard version? Which is more popular and which in your opinion fits the best. Which looks the best on a grandsport?
2. How is it installed on the Grandsport?... do we have to remove the existing plastic OEM piece or does it go over it? Do we have to drill? How does it attach?
3. Price for front splash guards Narrow? Prices for Standard?
4. I remember there was a problem with it rubbing and scratching paint way in the past ...do all these come with the rubber gasket around it or is that extra and needs to be ordered?
5. I seem to remember that Apsis made these with different materials? I would want the front splash guards that match exactly with the rear ones that are OEM on the Grandsport. Not carbon fiber etc...
6. How about a group buy or a discount for customers who PM you and buy immediately via paypal?

All these are common asked question.

Majority of customers go with standard version for maximum protection. Some customers like the slimmer look so they go with narrow version.

Installation is very easy. You don‘t have to remove anything. Just turn the wheel to allow yourself some room for installation. At the bottom of wheel well there is one screw. Remove that factory screw and reuse the existing hole with longer screw provided. Don‘t tight the bottom screw yet. Then push the splash guard against the wheel well making sure no gap and hold it there. Then use the self tapping screw to drill direct through upper hole. That‘s it. It takes less than 10 minutes.

Both standard version and narrow version fit perfectly. Definitely you don‘t have to fight the fitting like other vendor‘s products.

All our splash guards come with rubber gasket. The.rubbing issue was in the early stage. Since we introduce the rubber gasket no more rubbing issue.

Standard version $320/pair

Narrow version $298/pair

Our matte black matches perfectly to factory guard on rear wheel. We have sold sooooo many kits and every customer says it matches nicely.

Sorry. No group buy now.

Expensive, but one of those "Bite the Bullet" items that you're glad you purchased.

Grand Sport has a different inner wheel well (see picture above) then the base C6. There is a larger thicker area of plastic on the rear of the wheel well. Are these specifically made to fit the Grandsport and fit over this? Or is this the same cut as the base C6? I used to have your splash guards on my Base C6, and I don't think they would fit on my Grandsport without removing the GS specific plastic it has in the wheel well. If it does go over the plastic as seen above, will you need to drill through the plastic into the wheel well beneath the plastic or does it extend so you don't have to drill through the plastic?
I am asking all these questions in advance because honestly 4 years ago the rear splash guards had fitment issues and I want to make sure I know what I am getting into ....

I have side skirts (unknown brand) that taper in at the front. Would the narrow ones fit/look better than the wide ones? Or will they not work with side skirts?
Thanks.

GS shares same splash guard as Z06. It's completely different from the C6 splash guard .

You won't have any fitting issue at all for our Z06/GS splash guard. You won't see any complaints about our fitting for Z06/GS. We have sold thousands kit already through the past years.

Just to make sure if your car doesn't have side skirt then you will need the Z06/GS splash guard. If you have side skirt then you will need ZR1 splash guard.

Since you have side skirt then you will need the ZR1 splash guard. We have standard version or narrow version. Both will fit for your car regardless what brand the side skirt is.

I really like the standard version, when I look at my car it does seem to have something missing, and along with the look the benefit of not getting rock damage etc. is worth it.

Standard Version for a 2012 Grandsport shipped to 77382? Total price? Please PM me how to order, paypal etc.

THANKS

Thanks Don. I'll look into them.
