Default Apsis front splash guards installed

So finally got them installed. They fit great and slid right on/. The only thing I did different was instead of using the self tappers I used well nuts to install plus double sided body tape.

These look great and the paint protection is just perfect. Are these the ones made with the side skirt option or just the plain ones?

side skirt cut outs. They kinda butt up right to the skirt and go around it on the bottom

To each his own but mudflaps on a Corvette just does not work for me. Are you planning to drive it in the mud? I know that you want to save the road rash but it takes away from the look but that is just my take on it. Nice ride by the way!

Um those aren’t mudflaps, they are splash guards. Huge difference and these serve a purpose. One of the issues with Vettes being low and the way that it is designed, it causes debris like rocks to fling up on to the side of the car when you are driving. Rocks don’t magically bounce on the car, it happens when you run over them. These help to reduce and eliminate that issue. I’m guessing you have never looked closely at the lower rocker panels of a Vette that is driven often have you?

To each their own…..I think the splash guards along with the side skirts make the vette look way better. The front and rear spoiler completes the look. Love those rims…

Not my taste, but definitely functional. I opted for a smaller but much less effective guards on my base. Lower part of the car definitely gets abused by rocks especially with the wheel spacers

Lol, mud flaps...that's an old school term. I have a set of Apsis "mud flaps" on my car & would recommend them to anyone, they protect the paint & look totally OEM factory stock

Looks good, very functional upgrade that is on my "one day" list. My only nit-pick is I wish there was a version that flowed better from the front splash guards to the side skirt like the rear splash guard flows into the rear diffuser.
