Am QUITE pleased.
There is no difference in fit, finish or durability between the overpriced ones and the inexpensive splash guards. They are probably all manufactured in the same factory in China.

I had a friend recommend to me that I should get them to protect my lower sides and I am so happy that I got my front splash guards. They do a great job on keeping the rocks down and plus my lower side skirts looks new. When I had my C7 Z06 I didn't have them on and I remember every time I washed it I would see a new rock ding on the lower skirts. I purchased my front ones off of Ebay for 70 bucks and they were super easy to install.

I have had both products in my hand and this is my opinion only. Have you compared them side by side? I have. Maybe you should rather than assuming others are crazy.

Could you explain the differences in fit and finish to enlighten us all?

Same here. I don't remember exactly but I think that the GM ones were actually made in China and the after market were not which i thought was interesting. They were identical....but hey, what would I know????
