I added a third screw two-thirds of the way towards the top

I saw the APSIS front wheel opening guard on a BLUE C6 Wide Body and thought it was somewhat unattractive ???

RPI is the 2nd Expensive option that is less obtrusive


WHAT are owners doing for front side of rear wheel opening on C6 Wide Bodies ?????

Nothing .... Don't seem to be anything that needs a 'fix'.

TURBO6TA, After polishing my Qtr Panels with Meguairs 105 on Orange Foam pad with PC 7424XP orbital I do have
minimal clear coat damage remaining in FRONT of my rear tire (on lower qtr panel). I cant be sure where
debris was/is being thrown from.


Meg 105/Orange Pad did minimize issue and most casual lookers wont notice, but I DO.

Just some feedback. Several members of a Corvette club I belong to, myself included, have put front splash guards on their Grand Sport. Almost to a member, the Apsis guards were recommended, and you could get two different models, a wider guard and a narrow one. . A few initially bought the RPI model. Terrible fitment issues on the drivers side. Some made do...some just couldn't handle the poor fitment and went to Apsis and had little or no problems with the Apsis fitment. The downside......Apsis are more costly than RPI.

All I can say is I've had my wide apsis on for over 8 years now no problems with stone chips I occasionally repaint the inside from Stone chips because I have the first generation of these ever made for the wide-body C6 and the color is not all the way through! that's how old these suckers are, (color is all the way through on the newer versions) highly recommended!!
