I am looking for splash guards for my new z06 when it arrives (TPW 5/9), I'm interested in the Apsis front and back because they give the most protection. I would love to hear from Corvette owners that have them installed, pics if possible would also help. thanks!

The idea of the ACS splash guards being a bit wider and extending low enough to protect the front of the skirts sounded great, so I bought a pair. The quality was not as good as the GM accessory splash guards -- looked like the mold flashing was roughly trimmed off with a pair of wire cutters, the surface finish was not uniform thruout the exposed portion of the part, and there was a small hole right thru the material at one spot near one of the mounting holes. Then there was the instruction that said the front edge of the side skirts had to be trimmed with a dremel tool to allow the splash guards to fit properly. My ACS splash guards are still in the box and probably won't ever be installed.

If ACS has improved their manufacturing processes for these splash guards, they should be a good addition for better protection.
