Hi . I did not find a response if you were happy with both? I was thinking of doing the same thing. Just got a 2025 z06

Hey the ACS front guards took awhile to arrive but they look good as well as the EOS rears. I'll have to get some pics when it warms up. I do like how the ACS guards hang lower for more protection but they are proud of them.
$159.99 from amazon for fronts & rears w/ clips got the matte black. perfect fit & looks great on the car!! they also have carbon fiber painted & gloss black for $169.99.
EOS - they are really nice. Painted perfectly (CF) and fit was spot on.

Can you tell me the dimensions of the front and rear guards? I asked EOS but their response was "I apologize, but the item is already packed and ready to ship, so we are unable to provide those specific dimensions at this time." Do they extend down as low as the ACS? TIA

Here’s some pics of acs front and eos rear splash guards. I like how the fronts start flush and slowly start to taper out down the fender and hang down lower than other brands. I haven’t seen a pair of acs rears in person to see if they are the same or do all the rears stick out and then downward? The rears are not as important to me as the fronts so they don’t bother me as much.
I put the AGM visible carbon fiber splash guards on my 2025. They were $750 and look as good as OEM. They’re a nightmare to install because AGM doesn’t provide new vampire clips and expects you to reuse the factory clips (or buy new ones). If not for the clip issue, I’d highly recommend them. I’d still buy them again given the high quality.
Before After
I found a vendor who sells these AGM Visible Carbon Fiber splash guards, and I must say that they look beautiful. As the poster wrote, these run $749 for front and rear, whereas the ACS Composite guards for front and rear, which come painted in Carbon Flash (not available in Visible Carbon Fiber), are $679. This was just a snapshot of prices, and you may find them cheaper at other vendors. It appears that the design of both are very similar, and again, only based on photos, appear to provide the same amount of coverage/protection. As I wrote in an earlier post, I got the ACS Composite version, and I'm thrilled with the design, quality and fit. Since my Z06 is black and there are is no Visible Carbon Fiber on the exterior, the Carbon Flash probably looks better on my car, and I'm glad I went with ACS. If you have Visible Carbon Fiber on your car, such as the aero package or mirror caps, the AGM Visible Carbon Fiber version would probably look better. It would be interesting to see if the paint/coating durability is better with one over the other.
Scottlp Thanks for pictures. Will do the same. Love the color! Sold a 2016 c7 Laguna blue a few weeks ago when I bought the red mist z06. Was at Macmulkin and they only had a few riptide but not with options I wanted.

Yessir, thanks! I sold a 2015 Laguna Blue M7 700rwhp C7Z to get my C8Z and other than the manual and low end torque the C8Z is better in every way. I settled for mine but got the color I wanted and it was local.
Red Mist looks killer on these cars!

My c7 was a manual. That was holding me back from a c8. I prefer a manual but am looking forward to the z06. Never drove one but value your input! I have a few months to go before it warms up in CT.

Won't these carbon fiber guards chip up? Looks like the last pic shows a chip.

Exactly why I will not buy an expensive cf splash guard. Function over form for is my objective for a splash guard. The over size Paragon does the job well. Imo of course.
My car is to be driven and not to car show only.

Well, if you look at the function of these guards, they are supposed to prevent rock and stone chips from damaging the bodywork. They will take the hit so the body won’t. Chips and marks on these guards show that they’re doing the job they were intended to do. Just my opinion.

Agree! My point was why spend so much more on visible carbon fiber guards vs the plastic ones from ACS (which I have and look great!) if the VCF are going to get all beat up by rocks and also will show the damage? No need to answer, just thinking in practical terms.
I just got my 26 Z06 and was looking tha mud flaps….What am i missing here. You could put PPF (which I am doing) along the rockers and behind the rear tire for less then $800, what do the mud flaps get you over PPF?
