ACS FTW. Have hit some bad gravel patches. Sounded like a shotgun blast. The ACS product caught every single rock.

OEM GM splash guards installed at NCM delivery, traveled 2800 miles and only got one small scratch below the ACS Z-06 rocker panel.
Fit and function are good, these are not very large but they do a good job of minimizing the carnage.
One thing I noticed right away is the amount of dirt and of course brake dust that sticks to the back of the car (Z-51 spoiler)
Aerodynamics and airflow are everything on the C-8 and you can clearly see how it works after driving it and looking at the exterior, I don't mind wiping it down and keeping it clean.
The GM splash guards are something I read about and did ask my dealership about when I was ordering and I am glad that I went with them, they do seem to help.
Yes, you will still get debris pouring off these Michelin tires under bad conditions, it is the nature of the beast.
I just want to drive this car, the C-8 is just an absolute thrill to run.

Before the change I was beating the he'll out of them trying to get them to seat.
This is what I did too. Use the stock clips especially if you don’t want to remove the wheels in order to get enough leverage to pop them in.

Optional OEM here on my 2020, and now my 2024. No issues with rock chips.

You should file a claim with Ebay / paypal. DId you ask about the bilstering in writing I assume? If so you should be able to get your $$$ back.
