It took several months for Mid America to get the first C5 splash gurads on the market. For anybody who drives their car in sandy or dirty areas they will be as badly needed as the ones on the C5. I took quite a few pictures of the wheel well area of the car at the Detroit Auto Show and it may actually be worse than the C5 as far as painted surfaces intruding into the wheel wells where they can be sand blasted. No matter what people say about them splash guards definitely look better than the road rash that will start showing up in a few weeks of driving. My Torch Red 03 Z06 paint looks fogged behind each wheel.
