Stone Chip prevention
Hey everyone Happy New Year! Santa brought my Grand Sport some splash guards. These are great keeping some of the tire debris off of the paint. I went with the GM splash guards because I knew they would fit well. My biggest surprise was how good they look. I usually think splash guards looks dated but not these, they aren't mud flaps.lol The video explains how easy they are to install and a bonus laugh at the end when I receive a a telemarketing call. Let me know what you guys think. Take care -Ozz (Glen)

Damn Ozz, that was funny . . . LMFAO. Nice video. I've had other Corvette owners suggest that I get the splash guards, but I never really looked into it. You got me thinking . . .

Glen also has a good video showing you how easy it is to change the brake pads in the Bembo calipers. There's absolutely no need to pay your dealer hundreds of dollars to do this job if you have even a small amount of mechanical ability. Thanks Ozzstar.

I looked through YouTube at a few different brake pad videos. Glen's was the best and I have it bookmarked. Will be watching again this weekend when I dive in.

Great video and I think I will be ordering some of the splash guards.
As a matter of fact, ordered me a set today.

Totally agree. I just did mine last Saturday and his video made the job super easy.
