Great pics--thank you! Easy to see size on red--cannot even really notice them 
Does something that small really help--I assume most are getting Xpel behind tires and on full rocker panel?

I have to laugh, I installed these a couple of days ago and today I notice a small chip in the windshield. If you drive them... you can't keep them perfect!

I just did mine and could not believe how quick & easy it was. Also they are so subtle you wonder just how effective they will be. But I went ahead and installed aftermarket wheels a half inch wider and these should be perfect to pick up the extra road muck.

Ok, I admit it, I am physically/mentally challenged as a Mod handyman.
This is the simplest Mod I've done for two Corvettes, but I made it as hard as installing a camshaft. So that I can save some of you some time and embarrassment, here's my recommendations for the Challenged Handyman:
1) Read the frickin label on the inside of the new/old guards, it TELLS you where they go
2) On the front set, the tab in the center needs to slide into the artificial turf panel, not on the outside
3) On the front, the screw tab at the bottom goes on the OUTSIDE of the painted fender panel
4) On the back, the screw tab at the bottom goes on the INSIDE of the painted fender panel
5) It's a 7mm socket, trust me
6) If you still screw it up, don't worry, everything pops out and you can redo it.
7) Do NOT consume large quantities of scotch prior to installation.
Hopefully this helps other idiots like me.

I have purchased them for my C7. Will be installing this weekend. They appear to be very easy to install. I agree subtle and should look good adding just a little more protection.

A 7mm socket and a towel to sit on! You don’t have to remove a wheel or jack up the car. Very simple install. Even if you are not a DIY person put a several page picture "how to" in the following PDF: http://www.netwelding.com/Splash_Guard.pdf
It even shows what the bottom screws look like so you don’t get the wrong one (as I did!) Don’t even need the plastic wedges, once the bottom screw is out you can pull off with your hands. Could also put tape on a screw driver tip if needed.
