I just recently traded my 50th SAE in for a C7 Stingray convertible. Love it tremendously. I want to put rock protectors on it, both front and back . I looked at ACC and they want $400 for their mid range pair. Thoughts on these or others you guys use and recommend

As you look at different types of protectors, keep in mind that many of the protectors on the market are designed for the GS and the Z06. There may be fewer options for the Stingray.

^^^^Yes; I have the same ones. Nice protection at a fraction of the price of the GM accessories.

I put a set of GM extended splash guards and some full length side skirts from RPI Designs on my ‘14 Stingray. That combination offers excellent protection for the sides of the car and cost was around $500 for everything - installed the items myself with help from my nephew and brother. Not hard at all.

I got the Carbon Flash painted ones from RPI when they were on sale. They are easy to put on. Give them a look.

I got mine from Extreme Online Store. They are painted Carbon Flash to match the other pieces on the car.

I like them a lot for a more budget friendly price than ACS.

I installed all 4 in about 30 minutes.

There are lots of aftermarket choices for rock/splash guards out there in the marketplace, you will have to do some internet shopping & pick the ones that you like best
