Thanks. It just was built a couple days ago so I have awhile to make up my mind while I wait for the hold and the shipping.

I wonder if a set of front splash guards (clip sections cut off, etc) would fit the front of the rear wheel well. A right front splash guard would be installed the left rear wheel well, left front on a right rear wheel well. I do not have an extra set of fronts to try this so don't know if this is workable.

I just posted on my Denver to Laguna Seca road trip, so I am interested in more protection. See my comments if you are interested.

I'll check that out...I still have my stock ones (for car resale some day!). You are right , it would have to be opposites....will let you know...would be a lot easier than what I tackled with the C5 material that is hard to cut.

Then you have a quality paint job. My buddy bought a set from Apsis that chipped right away. He got replacements.

Possibly a dumb question. The GM splash guards: Are they sold in sets of 4 for all 4 wheels, or are the fronts and rears sold separately? I couldn't tell from the GM ad.

My fronts and rears were separate.


I painted my with some Carbon Flash I had left over from doing my badges. Works really well with NRB!!

Sold in pairs. Look at my post on this thread for the price.

I didn't see anything in the ad that said they were for front or rear. So the the fronts and rears are the same, and I would order 2 sets of 22935635?

Yep. If you go to the website itself, it dose say price per pair.

Will do/thanks! Been driving the new Vette a lot, and it looks like these guards will be a good addition.

No. Order one set PN 22935635 (fronts) and one set PN 22935639(rears). Fronts and rears are not identical.
I have them installed on my Corvette.

That sounds like a good idea.

What kind of prep did you do to OEM guards and where'd you get the paint? Sorry for the possibly dumb questions but I'm new to doing any mods.
