I like those splash guards. I ordered them as well but these are the first real photos I’ve seen.

The splash guards look very much like the C7 versions.

You might consider getting those splash guards painted the same color as the car.

I think you see them less if you leave black. They blend into the wheel and wheel well nicely.

I've got mine in anticipation of my C8! They are similar to the C7 BUT different as to where they attach. Only for the C8.

I’ve seen color-keyed versions on the C7. IMHO, they stand out more when painted, and “disappear” when left black.

The black looks fine with the side/rear vent black as well. Never been a "big fan" of the black "spats" on my Grand Sport BUT Tadge, in a forum post, said with most colors they looked worse painted the car color!

yes put mine on middle this week and they are so modest they blend right in. Had to really pry and use trim tools for the rear compared to the fronts.

I like the black, adds to two-tone type of implementation.
