Default OEM Splash Guards

Was cleaning out the garage today and found my original OEM splash guards. I had replaced them right after getting my 2017 GS. Are these guards worth anything to anyone or should I just throw them away?

I imagine someone would buy them. Put in the for sale section.

Give them away for free. Not worth it to sell something like that, may as well just help someone.

I agree, a member here gave me a set of C8 OEM carbon fiber engine compartment covers. I've given stuff away as well.

40 years from now when GM doesn’t have OEM parts, someone may want them to restore the 17 back to stock .
Id put em in the for sale section or stash em away in the basement and sell them in 40 years

Listing them in the Pay it Forward thread is not a bad idea. The stock splash guards are not really worth much. You could always ask that the interested party cover shipping costs.

I gave mine way years ago. About all they are worth unless one still uses the OEMs. I might recommend you offer to do the same with yours.

I'm for giving them away. I bought, and you can still buy, nearly identical brand new ones on Ebay for about $20 - including shipping.
