Default GM splash guards....wayyy worth it

For 140 bucks well worth it. They stick out just enough to do a great job.

If your in san francisco bay area I'll install these for free. PM me or text/call 415 519 2432 I'd be happy to help put them in.

No reason why it should take more than max 20 minutes to install. Dealers are charging from 100 to 150 to put these in which is a rip off

Can you post the GM part numbers you ordered?

Also - do they mount to existing screws / screw holes?

Thanks for posting, look great and like they would keep the exact areas I am getting road grime clean

The originals on the car from factory say Made in USA, these new ones from GM say Made in China. FYI.
One screw, they snap on.
It say quantity 1. There are two fronts in one box and two rears in the other box.

I plan on getting them to address a bit more negative offset in my new wheel setup when they arrive.

This is my plan. Stage 1 Z with GM splash guards and side skirts only w/ Xpel ultimate for extra protection.

Before you go spend 2000 on the aftermarket stuff give these a try. You will be happy with results

Im confused, are these different than what comes with the car? I bought mine used and it appears to have these already, but then I also have two boxes that are in the back that also have splash guards.

Norcal, I will get the Xpel any ways because I want to prevent chips at the front bumper and hood area plus the brake duct areas I want protected from paint chipping. I experienced it plenty with my C6Z

You will see that you still need side skirts along with the GM splash guars are needed. Otherwise the rear brake vent area can catch chips.
I vote for the ACS side skirts!

These were under $300 including install by dealer for me. Worth it I think.

Install took me twenty minutes in my driveway with a ratchet and 7mm socket. Have done both my Z and the wife's Stingray.

It took me 10 minutes ton install all 4. If anyone wants to save money and is in san francisco area shoot me a pm and I will install for free. There's no reason a dealer should charge more than 20 minutes to install these

I have 2010 Z06 that has these and they came on the new car. I don't recall ordering them.

So, I have a 2016 ordered and wonder if they are part of all new builds?

Anyone know?

If you order them with the car, will the dealer install them for no charge? Same as the Stage 2 aero kit and cargo shade?

You can ask but dealer will charge you full retail which is close to 300. I got mine for 140 shipped on ebay all 4 and yiu can get them for mid 120s shipped on ebay.

I will ask APR Performance if they would be able to make these in Carbon Fiber to match the rest of their product line for the ZO6.

I really hope they will consider making them in Carbon Fiber because I want these!
