Ext. rock gaurds

Anyone running the gm rock gaurds on front and back on stingray? Just wondering if they look good because they stick out a bit.

They only stick out about 1/2" or so and aren't really noticeable

They look like they are supposed to be there.

I run them and they do provide some additional protection. And they are not that noticeable when installed on the car.

Good looking, follow the C7 design flow and protect.
And if that's not enough, they install in only about 15 minutes.

I put them on both my '19 GS and the wife's '15 Z51, these are copies but you would never know. Easy 15 min install and a bit of peace of mind for cheap.

Quick and easy install... and, might, just might do a little.

But, certainly cannot hurt.

I just had the OEM guards installed. They are subtle and flow with the lines of the car. I have a Z51 with the narrower tires. So, hopefully they will help. Anyone have any experience with this?

I haven't had any damage with OEM guards installed on my GS, so you should be fine. However damage from stones/debris has a lot to do with how and where you drive.
