Default Apsis' Finished C6 Z Splash Guard Short Version, *PICS SHOWN*

Finally we get the finished version of our Z Splash Guards Short Version sample so now we can share some pictures with members.

The two Rear Wheel pcs still need minor modification to have perfect fit. So it will delay a little for the release. But at least now you can get the idea how it looks like. You see, it's not easy to develp a perfect product.

Price: $157.50/pair for either front or rear wheel (Black Raw Kit)

Delivery: about 4 weeks

How to order: PM, Send email to apsisusa@aol.com or call us at 1-800-68APSIS (6827747)


Now we start accepting back orders. If you order now, we will hold the allocation from our first batch production for you

Here are the pictures-----------

Default The Carbon Wheels are our products

Other than the Black Raw Kit, we also offer real carbon kit. There are three different carbon colors you can choose--- Black, Silver & Titanium.

We also offer pre-paint service. But we would prefer customer to paint by themselves. We subcontract our body shop to paint for us. This service is for the customers who don't have access to good body shop.

The Carbon Wheel is our products. We can laminate carbon for any wheel you have.

We made that set of Carbon Wheel for our display vehicle in Corvette at Carlsile and we got excellent responses. We are glad you do like it.

Our idea is you can see chrome wheels all over the places but you never see the real carbon wheel before. This is the "industry first" approach.

THose wheels do look cool. That would put an end to me going nuts over being able to see brake dust on the wheels.

Those splash guards won't fit properly on a Z06. It has different wheel houses that the C6 convertible pictured, especially in the front.

I may be wrong, just post a Z06 fitted, let's see the front wheel.

You are right. It won't fit for Z06 Front Wheel.

But in the next couple weeks, we will develop the Z06 own Front Wheel Splash Guards. There are many Z06 owners requesting it and we decide to make it shortly.

When we finish our prototype, we will post some pictures to show you guys. Stay tuned.

When something new introduced to the market, there are always some pro and con comments. Without seeing the products in person yet and you claim it will fly off at speed, we think you make conclusion too quick.

In 1995 when we started the aftermarket wood dashes, customers criticized that the wood will spliter and hurt people so there is huge liability and better not to use the products. Look at now, how many customers had used the wood dashes and nothing happened.

We are not in the business of saving "weight". We are in the "Trim" business to make the products that some customers would think it will make their car look nicer, unique & stand out from the crowd so they would pay for it. Our products "add" weight to car, not "reduce" weight to help run faster.

We don't target our products to the racing customers who care saving any lb.

Your thread title says: "Apsis' Finished C6 Z Splash Guard Short Version"

OK, let's see the pics of the C6 Z splash guard.

Or is your thread title misleading and/or just plain wrong?

Layoff the guy, everybody has the right to make a living. Up close the products are outstanding. My friend Russ has a black Z with the silver carbon fiber kit, in fact it was on display at Carlisle and people couldn't ask about it fast enough.

No offense guys, and I don't intend to put any product down, but I heard that the C6-ZO6 has spent more time in GM Wind Tunnel than any other GM car, so could there be any ill aerodynamics effect with these mud flaps ?

My guess would be 5-10 mph reduction in top speed.

Sorry, I just did copy & paste and didn't have further thought that it would create confusing. We don't intend to mislead you guys.

Anyway, now you know that we will be working on the Z06 Front Wheel Splash Guards shortly. In about two weeks, we will have prototype to show you. Indeed, many Z06 customers have requested us to make it available for Z06.

If you live in the area that the rocks or pebbles did damage your paint, then you may change your mind. Protecting your car or Living with the style you like and suffering the paint damage? Some customers choose the first option.
