Help! After driving from Tulsa to Ron Fellows and back I need paint touched up in front of the rear wheels. What is everyone using for splash guards. I have the small factory ones on it now.
Thanks,
Larry

You said "In Front Of The Rear Wheels"? Splash guards will protect the BACK of the rear wheels. If you want to protect in front I would suggest Paint Protection Film.
EDIT: I guess you meant the front wheels were throwing up debris all the way back to the front of the rear wheels.....didn't realize. Rocker panel Paint Protect Film is still something to consider.

Some are calling the pieces you take off to install these "splash guards". I don't understand how they can be called splash guards since they offer no protection to the outside. Splash guards extend beyond the fender.
For the larger aftermarket guards ACS is excellent quality but pricey.
Hope this helps.
I have a set of the ACS rock guards that I took off of my 2023 coupe before I sold it. If no one in my club wants to buy them, I will offer them up for sale here on the forum.
For what it’s worth, ACS will have eRay/Z06 rock guards available in the near future.
These from eBay are identical to the ones costing 4X as much. Fit and work perfectly. Silly to spend money based on the seller instead of the product.
I don't believe they are the same, they are a good price but do they provide as much protection? ACS are not inexpensive but neither is repainting lower rear quarter that gets peppered from the front tire. Plus they fit perfect.

I bought a set off eBay that claimed to be carbon flash. They might have 1/10 the metal flake as the car and I can’t get the first one to clip in place. Different vendor than cited above, but they’re junk.
The optional GM ones don't have great coverage on flush (wider and/or lower offset) wheels but they're better than nothing plus my PPF stacks for protection.

The design and function of the cheaper Ebay gaurds is as good as most out there. I had a very hard time getting the clips on those guards to fit into the factory wheel well slits. Remove the metal clips on the Ebay guards and replace them with the stock clips and they will snap right in without much effort. It worked for me. Before the change I was beating the he'll out of them trying to get them to seat.
