If you do a search here, Google, or You Tube, there is plenty of information on this and just about everything else regarding C8s.

They have been on backorder for quite a while and were deleted from my build on Nov 22 or so. I ordered mine from RPI and they are just a little bit
bigger than OEM and I like them. I had Criswell install them during PDI--ce

Just installed the GM “splash guards” this weekend while installing ceramic brake pads and 20mm spacers. I ordered them through Paragon Performance and with the national back order I was a little surprised when they showed up mid February.

Overall, I am happy with them and easy to install with the wheels off. Might be tight with the wheels on. They only give another 1/2” of coverage but they also don’t look obtrusive IMHO.

Pretty inexpensive, they're just splash guards so I'm not really spending big bucks on something like this. I ordered a set

I purchased Painted Premium XL Splash Guards 4pc for 2020-2022 C8 Corvette from PFYC for $290. My car in ELB and the rock guards came PERFECT and look terrific. The back side which is against the car is the painted surface and they blend very well. As you might notice in the little picture, I'm not big on the black plastic look. (the factory splash guards were on constraint for my car in Jan as well----lucky for me)

I just received my XL Extended Front & Rear Splash Guard Painted Carbon Flash Metallic from Extreme Online Store. Still waiting for my C8 that is scheduled to be built next week. The paint is flawless so very happy. I’ll update on the install when I get my car.

I just finished installing the Oem splash guards ten minutes ago. Really easy to install and they don’t look intrusive. I went with the Oem because I got 100 bucks of GM dollars to spend when I bought my C8. They aren’t a lot bigger than the stock ones but they are just big enough to cover the tires and I know from my previous guards on my C7 they help a lot with stones and such.

I got a set for mine also, and they are beautiful.

I bought these and wouldn't recommend them. The quality is inconsistent, and you're saving around $40 compared to OEM. The only real benefit is that you can get it via Prime shipping. As long as you're willing to wait, just get the OEM ones.

Default Its the money honey......

The splash guards from amazon or eBay are both cheaper and identical to the OEMs. All of these parts are mfg'd in one of dozens of anonymous Chinese factories. No branding save the name on the shipping box. The big delta is how many mouths get fed navigating the supply chain. GM's being the biggest. So save a few bucks on this humble part.
