I chose to install extended splash guards similar to OE that you can find on Amazon or Ebay for <$50...These along with full-length side skirts will provide the best protection for the side panels...

Where did you get those side skirts? They blend in perfectly.

Keep looking on eBay. The first ones I came to were $86 then I keep scrolling and found the $56 ones. I ordered a set. Free shipping and returns. They are sure worth a try at that price.

So the set sits in the box in my garage until i find the patience to deal with it.
Was that on just one flap or all four. Trying to figure out if that was a fluke on just one of them.

GM only offers the VQK option which are guards that no one would call "extended". My aftermarket wheels are 1/2" wider and move the edge of the tire closer to the edge of the fender. So I need true extended rock guards.

I ordered the ACS extended guards because of the fit, paint quality, and material used. They don't use ABS so they are stronger and more durable...the parts fit perfectly, and the paint quality is fantastic and matches the Factory paint perfectly.

I purchased the color-marched from RPI Designs and am very satisfied with their product.

I tried cheap ones off Ebay. They fit with minor headache of clips. Used the OEM clips from originals guards.
They were carbon fiber dipped which was ok on outside but wonky looking in inside.
Hard plastic instead of the pliable plastic of OEM if it matters.
The supplied clips would push in the rear liner instead of snapping into it.
