Default Splash Guard Question

Has anybody been able to get 'Extended Splash Guards' as an O.E.M. option? I didn't see them offered on my order sheet and don't even know if they're available for the ZO6.

GM hasn't bothered to make these as yet.

I had the small integrated GM splash guards on my C7Z, disappointed they are not available for my C8Z. I'm having some protection film put on the area, but I think it's going to get beat up.

Any aftermarket options yet?

I wonder if the Stingray version would work? I wouldn't think that area of the wheel well would be any different.

I'm pretty sure I looked at the wheel well liners on my brother's first Z06 and the fasteners don't line up.

None of the Stingray versions would work. Several have tried but due to curvature, etc, they do not fit. GM has no plans to ever make them for the Z06 (per a conversation I had with Josh Holder).

However there are two top quality aftermarket firms working on them right now. Guessing July or so arrival.
