For those who are signed up for emails you’ll be getting an email!

We have finally come up with the C7 specials list. We have added many of the pricing and photos to our specials list and to the website. Click the appropriate links for the photos and if you’d like to order anything on our specials list give us a call, contact us directly or go to the website and be sure to enter the part number using the Chevrolet make.

The C7 accessory availability is volatile, which means an accessory can be available one day and not the next, due to high demand and high volume. We will be certainly happy to work our hardest to get what you’re looking for but we do ask for your patience. If you have any questions regarding the availability of an item please contact us for assistance.

• We ship via USPS, UPS, UPS Freight and FedEx.
• We accept most major credit cards and PayPal.
• We now sell many aftermarket manufacturers’ products.
• We ship to anywhere in the world with both large and small shipments.
• We have a price matching policy. Provide us with a link to another GM site with the total price shipped and we’ll verify it and match it.
• We offer a GM warranty in house within 30 days and after 30 days you’re covered by the GM 12 month parts warranty on all Genuine GM Parts.

You are welcome. In purchasing $100 splash guards from him I felt like I was treated the same as if I was purchasing a $10,000.00 crate motor. I will ALWAYS gladly recommended someone like that!

I went by my local dealership today and asked them how much they would charge to install the splash guards and they told me $189.50 for labor only. I just look at him and said that is a little crazy and walked away

My dealer told me $145 for labor and I told him he was nuts, as they can be installed in what, 30 min max?

GM did an excellent job on the design. Remove one bolt, snap off splash block, and install splash guard, snap in clips and reinstall the screw. No need for a dealer install.

is this the procedure for C7 also?
the wheelwells have the thick magic carpet material that comes almost to the edge. doesn't look quite so simple. i don't have the car yet, so i am working from memory here, so i could be totally wrong.

Well it is not the procedure for the C6 so I'm guessing that's what it is on the C7.

Unscrew one screw at the bottom of the wheel well, remove existing guard block, replace with new and reinstall screw. Piece of cake.

do you think the guards extend far enough to protect the fenders and rockers?

they'll definitely help, but I would still have clear bra material installed on all the surfaces below the door flare and up the front of the rear fender.
