APSIS Long wheel well flares/flaps

I saw these parts made by APSIS - the part looks a lot like the Z06 fender flares/flaps.

http://www.apsisusa.com/C6%20or%20Z0...ion%20Page.htm

Not that I want it for that reason, I am looking to cut down on the crap I sling up when driving. Also, keep the stone chips on the lower portions of the car to a minimum. Anyone have experience with the part? If so, what do you like/dislike about the parts?

I am considering long flaps in the back, undecided on the front - can't find a good shot of the long version for the front for me to make decision.....

Thanks in advance.

If I were you, I'd get the new GM guards. They do what you are looking for, plus they look like they are a factory installation.

Thanks - did not even know those existed. Now I have something else to investigate. Seems the only drawback is drilling. I wish there was another way..............

No drilling involved on the new GM front guards, just new pins in the old holes.

I have the Apsis long version on the front of mine.

Took all of 10 minutes to install and they fit perfectly.

The drilling is only to the plastic fenderwell, not the body of the car. Very safe, and is inexpensive to change out the fenderwell if you ever want to go back.
