Splash guards
I’m looking for the best place to get splash guards for a ‘21 C8. I’ve been looking online, but it’s hard to tell if some of them are any wider than the stock plastic that goes in that location. Does anybody have any suggestions/ recommendations for splash guards?
Thanks!

Thanks! I’ve been waiting for a C8Z06, but lucked into a ‘21 Z51, and picking it up this Saturday. Also going to see if there are any “do it yourself” film kits, but regardless will still put new guards on. I’ll check these out. Thanks again!

Got mine here. Came in about a week. No issues with the order. The pics will show how much they stick out.

Are GM splash guards stock?
Every C8 I’ve seen has GM splash guards on it so I ordered the XL carbon flash ones in advance of my delivery to see if they can offer a little more protection. Don’t all C8s come with a (minimal) GM splash guard?

You can order diy kits off Xpel custom cut but it’s a large piece which takes some skill to install properly. I’ve done film on most of my cars and putting on the cut kit is a challenge especially on a c8. What I did was order bulk Xpel and made my own templates. Mine are small in comparison to the Xpel templates and easier to install. I cut pieces for the rear scoops, behind the doors, the lower front nose and the mirrors.
Best thing is you make the template, put on the Xpel and if you don’t like the results redo. I got less then $100 in material.
it’s not show quality but I drive my car and the protection it provides out weights what you see if you squint at the car.

These are the ones GM ships to your dealer if you purchased the $250 splash guard option.
The picture in the link does show how much it extends. Around an inch or so at the widest point.
I believe there are more extended ones offered in the aftermarket.

Stock from the factory is pretty much a plastic piece as part of the fender liner, it doesn’t stick out at all and offers no protection for the side of the car. I ordered the GM splash guards from Wildhammer which replace that plastic piece and do stick out enough to offer some protection.

I have been trying to find a company that have these in stock. Just purchased the last set from Wildhammer that they had in stock. Very fair price at $135 with free shipping. Seems most aftermarket companies sell the same GM splash guards. Some paint them for an added cost.

RPI sells splash guards that are painted to match the color of your car. I bought a set back in 2015 for my NRB Z51 and they looked great!

I upgraded from the stock splash guards to GM’s “extended” ones pictured in several posts on this thread. They add some additional protection, but less than an inch. Most effective if you have stock wheels. If you added more offset with aftermarket wheels like I did, you still get splashing back onto the side and doors, but not as much. If you want to eliminate that with aftermarket wheels, you’ll need larger units, at least in the front.
