I don't know about splash guards you might like, but from your picture, for safety reasons the wheels appear much too wide for the tires you have now. Just sayin... .

I just installed some ACS XL carbon flash guards to my base '19. I probably could have gotten away with just the "enhanced" version but I don't have side skirts and thought the XL' will give a bit more protection.
Before.
After.
Once the factory things were removed (which I don't think gave any protection at all) the new ones took maybe 10 minutes to do all four corners. They feel very solid, fit is perfect and I think they look great.

I've had the XL in carbon flash on for about 4000 miles now and they look new (of course the inside area taking all the rock hits looks dusty).
