What brand paint did you use? Looks good.

Just installed the OEM GM brand splash guards on the front and rear.

Odd, the rear guards didn't come with the clips installed for the mounting screws. No issues and re-used the ones from the removed pieces just thought it was a little BS...

I did the installation, its not perfect, as it was my first time. There is one flaw in each side. No one has noticed, but I know its there.

Premium Auto Styling is where I got the set. Below is the link to there web site. Part FLG129-SB The SB is satin black. I will order another set, and re-do them in the spring.

I crossed 20,000 Miles yesterday. My tires are worn out (3/32nds currently), I need an oil change (it's at 11%, after only 7000 miles of driving), and I think the brakes need to be changed (I'll look at those when I remove the wheels to deep clean them).

So it looks like my Corvette is getting winterized shortly, about 30-45 days earlier than I should due to weather. Which is sad, but next year I'll make up for it.

I deep cleaned my wheels yesterday. Brakes looked excellent at 20,003 miles. I think they might have another 20,000 left. My tires are shot, down to the wear bars.

Changed from the black Z51 wheels to chrome - I think they really make the car POP given the dark grey exterior color (adds a nice contrast) - sorry its raining out and cant take a better picture:

I drove 491 miles with the top down, and this ginger got a little red, even with the sun block.
