I have a 2019 Stingray and debated but decided on the OEM. Seems like after reading many posts it really affects the wide body Vettes, so I feel the OEMs will give me the best option
Horse Power Junkie !
I would assume since the tires aren't as wide and inboard of the wheel wells on the Stingray and tires on the GS and Z06 are wider and outboard of the wheel wells there won't be as much road debris on rockers and sides of the Stingray. MPO is it's better to be safe than sorry so plan on putting ACS guards on the front and back.
For my Z06, I went with painted Carbon Flash ACS for the front and GM for the rear. I like how the ACS extends out enough to cover the front of the side skirt.
Here in Canada, and I assume also in the U.S., Amazon sells the ACS Fronts and the OEM rear mud guards as a kit. The combined price was the cheapest that I could find.
Took me about 20 mins (took it slowly) to remove original pieces and install these new ones.

Thanks Can Vette!
I am aware the ACS Guards are made here in Canada in Quebec , but If the guards at Amazon are the same product makes sense to me to get them at a lower price.
Hi Tim!
It seems opinions vary on what splash guards to use on the C7. It makes me wonder if its worth going to all the aggravation and expense after spending almost $ 90,000 to purchase. One would think GM must be aware of this problem and should man up and have problem corrected at the dealer at their expense. I may have to give this second thoughts about purchasing. Thanks
Well keep in mind this was a problem on the C6 too, but only the wide body cars. A stock stingray with stock wheels won't really have any issues. If GM would let me order all cars with them, I would. It's kind of too late in the game though to make this change with GM since the C8 are supposed to be due next year.
Thanks Can Vette!

Yes Amazon has been selling things very cheap lately. I just bought an X pipe from them and it was $30 cheaper than anyone with free shipping.
I agree with your assessment Tim, in it being too late to make a change now as GM is gearing up for the 2020 rear engine Corvette. Perhaps it would be a good idea to hold off in ordering a 2019 to see how much more the C8 would be? But being in various positions in Quality Control, I have always been hesitant in buying the 1st year build of a new model.

Honestly the C7 is going to be about $20k cheaper overall considering the discounts on the C7 and the C8s will be back at MSRP. I bought a C7 when they first came out and hardly had any issues with it. I'll probably get a C8 too when they first come out.
