Default ACS composite mud flaps?

Hi has anyone purchased ACS composite splash guards? I made the mistake of not adding mudflaps to my build, my car is here or will be in the next day or so, and apparently there is a hold on gm mudflaps? MM said there are none available to order....

so has anyone used ACS or recommend another brand, that can ship fairly fast?

I bought them. They are a Factory GM product. I do not think they are selling any non GM extended ones for the C8 like they did for the C7 but you would have to ask them. Just go into chat mode.

As stated Stan0324, they are OEM GM parts. As such, they may not have them available either. I'd verify availability before placing an order.

I got the ACS Carbon Flash splash guards and the dealer installed them during PDI. No complaints and they do work!

This was my carbon flash splitter from ACS Composites. Really big paint bubble and thin paint.

I ended up getting a set from corvettemods.com

https://www.corvettemods.com/C8-Next...c_p_24728.html

nothing against ACS at all, corvettemods had ‘extended’ and were a few bucks cheaper...
shipping to the dealer, as my car arrives today....

Just an FYI the ACS splash guards are out of stock as well and on backorder. They hope to fulfill orders "in the coming weeks".
This may or may not be showing on their website.

Those look really good. Are they fairly easy to self install? Me and plastic trim don’t get along very well.

Yes. One small screw (7mm if memory is correct) and then pry off the spring clips. About 15 min to do all four and no need to jack up the car.
