Question about splash guards
I'm thinking about installing the oem splash guards. I tried a search but could not locate any info/pics... Any1 can show me the guards (preferably unpainted) on a white c7?
Also, they seem pretty small? Do they really work to prevent dirt and rocks from coming up on the car?

For what it's worth, this is a PDF of my install with lots of pics. And no, the fronts are not big enough to do much good where it is most important from the center of the door back. Just look where GM put that thick, not so good looking plastic! The do work for the rear. After installing I added side skirts that do accomplish the objective and allowed my to remove the GM plastic.

I don't have time now, but if no one posts before tonight I will put up some photos for you. Buy them from Cultrag Performance, forum vendors and good people. Use there website and browse a little, might find a grille or other tidbits you want.
Also, depending on whether you have Z51 or standard tires as to their effectiveness. Standard tires are not as sticky and don't through up as much debris, so the splash guards work pretty well. If you are getting the Z51 you may want to consider the side skirts to save your rocker areas.

[QUOTE=Surly;1589753424]Is this what you are looking for? not the best pictures, but maybe they will answer your questions about them. Not much for the money, but do better than not having them.
No need for me to post as mine look just like these.
