C5 - Splash Guard / Mud Flaps
Just curious if any new product out there ?
I am aware of past threads and looking for a Nice Splash Guard that does not involve drilling and attaches with existing fasteners.
If anyone has an installation that meets this criteria , if you could provide supplier and perhaps a Pic of both Front and Rear Tire.
Thank you

The rears is where it gets tough. The front fender wells have two spots that already have screws to mount the plastics guards to. The rear has nothing and requires either drilling or the use of body panel tape.

I have these no drill on a Jeep and they did good so bought the C5 version.
I like no drill and minimalist design. If you look for them they are there but blend in well enough for me. I wanted protection on the lower portions of the vehicle.
The bolts and screws are either using factory locations or are mounted to a sub-assembly supplied with the kit that allows the actual flap to sandwich to the curvature of the rear body panel lip.
The last picture is the front using factory screw locations.

Thanks.....Yes the Rears do have 2 screws and looks like this kit , utilizes the 2 attechment Screws in the Rear to attach an Additional Bracket to allow for attachment points to be added. Do you have to remove the plastic liner in the Rear in the wheel well to attach the secondary bracket?

yes...thanks....I see the vendor had a nice video of the install for both Front and Back .....seems like a 5 min install for Front and Rear , maybe 20 mins for tire removal/install and additional bracket installation.

I used a set of the stealth splash guards from RPI Designs on my C5s. Easy install and no need for drilling any holes in the car. Best of all, the price is very reasonable, the guards do the job and they look good on the car.

The Rockbloks bolt to the fender wells to existing hardware. They give you stainless screws that are longer to fit the flap.
The rear they give you a mount to bolt to existing bolts to hang the flap from.
Many no drill flaps take a spring clip with teeth that digs into the fender and can shift on you.
