Splash Guards
I have narrowed down my list of splash guards in carbon flash to
1. Extreme Online Store at $309.99 for set of 4 and
2. ACS at 499.99 for set of 4.
Has anyone been able to do a comparison between the two brands, and if so,
did you prefer one over the other ?

There is one school of thought that believes, when the option is available, the car should be as OEM as possible. I sorta favor this. I understand the car can be a canvas for personal expression and all. Good luck with the new guards. Post a pic on this thread so we can see them. I love seeing how other owners make their cars their own!

The carbon flash finish looks waaay better than the GM textured plastic & the XL Extended shape offers more protection, but still blends in seamlessly.
I’m very happy with my purchase.
Sure it says “in stock”on their web site, but you’ll end up waiting 6-8 weeks for it.

According to ACS, the EOS version is a copy of the ACS version that is made in China. You can buy either one, but the ACS version is the original and should be of better quality. It all depends on if you want yet another company to rip off an original design and make it in China for less $$$.

I got my information directly from ACS. I apologize if the information was not accurate, just repeating what I was told by ACS. I have purchased from ACS in the past and they do great work, so did not have any reason to doubt their claim.

I would have bought the splash guards from ACS if they were available at the time as I think that they make better quality products ( I have their A51 wickers), but it would really be hard for them to claim that the EOS C8 splash guards are copies of theirs since they're not only different, but came out 6-7 months before the ACS ones. I think the EOS ones were available in Jan 2021 (I got my EOS splash guards in Feb) and the ACS splash guard announcement email came out at the end of July. Maybe ACS was referring to EOS copying their C7 splash guards. I'm not familiar with either, but that's what I'm guessing they might have been referring to.
