I had dealer install the GM splash guards at time of delivery. They have worked out good. I have thought about upgrading to a Carbon Fiber look like the one's ACS carry's !
Here is picture of GM splash guards on my 17 GS

I don't have a good picture of front.

I looked at acs carbon flash splash guards, wondering how the finish holds up.

I have the acs enhanced guards and am happy with them so far. I think the xl are probably the best but my car is completely wrapped in ppf and not a fan of how far the xl stick out. I had the gm ones on my z06 and they didn’t help at all. The acs ones hang lower as well as wider which helps/

I just got the textured black. They have them in carbon flash. They don’t really stand out. I think if I got the xl ones I would get them in carbon flash because they are more noticeable.

Thanks, but a big price jump for the carbon flash. Does the finish hold up? That's what I'm wondering

Personally, I prefer the OEM GM's as they blend into the flow of the C7 better IMO and aren't as noticeable as some of the other brands and the OEMs do protect well.

I added side skirts to my ‘14 and also went with the GM extended splash guards. They have worked out very well in protecting the side of the car.

If you are referring to the picture I posted it’s a 17 GS . I zoomed in on picture to show more detail of GM splash guard.
