ACS XL Front Rock Guards
I just got these in the mail the other day and put them on and I gotta say, they are GREAT! This is a new offering from ACS and not many people know about them yet. I figured I'd post here and let you guys have at it first! They are going to do wonders for keeping the stone chips down. Check out my install/review of them!

Anyone have pics of the XL front guards installed and the front tires pointed straight ahead? The ACS website inexplicably only has pics of the guards installed with the tires turned away, so we can't get a sense of how far the guards extend out with respect to the tires.
My concern is that ACS does not include such a picture because the XL guards are a bit too large.

I have them the real stopper is the side skirt. IMO

The sideskirt by itself won't stop everything. I have had issues with road debris with the sideskirts and the ACS extended guards. These should do a better job.

Do they drop down any lower than their previous extended guards. On my car the debris goes under the extended guards and over the side skirt right into the brake duct area.

I think these stick out too far. I have no doubt that they are functional but it's starting to look like a truck mud flap. I'll stick with my ACS front flaps and Conti's. Just my two cents....

Gotta do carbon flash spats now, IMO. Just trying to lure you into buying more since they don't seem to offer these XL front guards in anything but Carbon Flash.

These are ACS front flaps... I am assuming you mean the smaller ACS guards? These do stick out a good bit, but based on what I've seen so far they are also offering a lot more protection than the ACS extended guards I used to have.

Yeah, I just purchased but have not yet installed the ACS XL carbon flash rock guards. I live back in the woods, a 1/4 mile of dirt and stone road before I hit the main tared roads.

Do these XL Rock Guards look like truck mud flaps? This is them on the front wheels, my friend.

black car hides them well. Worth a consideration on my next car i suppose. I bet they hinder top speeds a bit. Those of you running expel, do you still need these, or does the expel guard that car fine without these?

good to know. I was going to get the expel with the 10 year warranty with the rock chip paint chip insurance on the new car i have coming. Not sure how this works out on the rear quarters via expel's insurance policy. My current car's paint is toast back there.
