Try Gene at Cultrag Performance Parts for the base splash guards. If they are available he can get them.

Apsis a sponser on here has the best hands down. A little pricey but an excellent product. my rear panels were sand blasted but after a repaint the rear panels are free of defects

This splash guard kit works fine and is barely noticeable. The fronts come pre-drilled and use the OEM fasteners. The rears clip on but I wouldn't use their clips and used my own. Installation is simple.
I have them on for over 17,500 miles and they work great at preventing rock chips and still look like new.

I bout a $35 set on e ay or amazon (can't remember which) and they fit great and have had NO issues. look like they are factory . I opted to use a couple extra screws along with using the factory clips. have had them for about 4 years now.

These are oem splash guards. They blend in perfectly and do a terrific job. Get them from GM they are the best ones out there.

Thanks for the reply guys. I tried a few sources for the OEM guards and came up short as they are now discontinued

I ended up buying the eBay ones. I've read mixed reviews, but the price was right, so I'll give them a go when they arrive this weekend.

It sucks that you can’t get the GM splash guards. I heard that can’t even get them on the C8 unless you order the C8R.

I received my order from Amazon (I think they are the same as the eBay units). They are actually surprisingly good quality, it does not feel like cheap/brittle plastic, but it is very flexible, almost like a rubberized plastic. The front lines up with the mounting holes very well, but were no holes in the rear fender wall on my vehicle and I needed to drill holes into it.

The frustrating part is that the supplied mounting tape, as well as ALL tapes that I have tried do not stick to these worth a damn. I think the rubberized material has very low surface energy and nothing will stick to it. It would be good to have a bit of tape adhesion to tighten up the edge seal, especially on the back. There is a very small gap in the back which is driving me a bit nuts.

I may try "butyl" tape. I've tried numerous double sided tapes (3M, Gorilla, Silicone), as well as trying to apply paint primer and adhesion promoter with zero luck. Any ideas are welcome!

Please forgive the dirty car. I wanted to post pics quickly.

Amazon has a bunch of different sets and/or suppliers. Which ones did you buy? Thanks.

Well either you get them on fleabay or Amazon or most anywhere else on the web, they all come from CHINA, that means their cheap and most likely won't last more than a few years, but by then Chinabay will have some more cheap s(*T to sell you. Either way you lose

Did you manage to order them? I placed an order at a few places online that claimed to have them, but then the orders were cancelled.
