Ton of threads on this! I would use Apsis on the front and GM on the back! I just did this last weekend on my Z!

The ACS are not wide enough. Use Apsis or the O'Reillys on the front.

How about the ACS enhanced mud guards? Definitely wider and longer then the regular ACS ones and less expensive still.

Can someone please link me to that O'Reilly's thread that had some of the dimensions and part numbers. I've been looking for it for a while and can't seem to find it. A search for O'Reilly splashguard didn't help me either.

If you have the standard skirts, as my 2017 does, that combination works just fine. There is not one chip anywhere on either quarter panel after going down many roads with loose pebbles, especially after the recent repaving of same roads.

Quite possibly the GM fronts may work with the skirts

Size is "C", and on the back is a barcode with 4322 on it. I did this last night. Only problem I had is that the template in the other thread appears to be incorrect. The middle hole should be 1/2" lower (7 3/8"). The top and bottom holes are correct.

I purchased both the O'Reilly's and the extra long CRE's over the winter. Modified the longer ones per gve's detailed measurements and installed them this evening. Complete coverage until I have my side skirts installed (in the box) and the existing sandblasted rear quarters repaired (soon).

I went with ACS front AND rear. Super fast ship. Quick to install. I don't worry about the rocks anymore.
