Yes, that box is way to small for both sets. Perhaps only the fronts were in stock so they just sent those. I'm sure ACS will get it figured out. You might also trying calling them. I've spoken with them several times by phone with questions about products.

Hi... They emailed me first thing this morning (Friday)... Apologized and are sending out the right parts today... Said it sounded like an order picking problem on their end. I conveyed all that was in the box and they said there should have not only been the full set of rock guards but also a separate packing slip which there was not... So... They're on it!!!! And hopefully the correct parts will come my way soon... Thanks for your input and help!!!!

They are glossy black. Sell for like $200+ then add tax and shipping. I will take $99 shipped to your door. 22 year member here, have sold many things including cars.
Still for sale?

YES to both (front and Rear) from ACS. A perfect addition to the ERAY and it keeps a lot of stuff from impacting the side of the car and getting stones in the side scoops. I have them both on my 2024 Eray. That box doesn't even come close to the box that the front and rear set would come in. I guess you will have to wait and see.

I got in touch with ACS right after I received what turned out to be ONLY the two front rock guards. They apologized and said it was an order picking issue on their end.. They immediately started the process of sending me a FULL SET of fronts and rears, along with a UPS Label to return the two fronts they sent previously.. Only needed the rears but they wanted to do it this way. So last Friday I got the full set of 4 rock guards... The next day I took the two fronts to UPS and started the process of returning those to ACS... I told ACS the two fronts were on the way... See two pictures of the 4 rock guards... Will be going on soon!!!!

The price difference btw the EOS and ACS is a pretty significant $500. Are they ACS ones THAT much better? I'm still unclear on what the integrated rock tunnel guard mesh does? (catch more rocks instead of them bouncing off the mud flap maybe?)

IMHO they are not worth $500 more. I have the EOS and they work and look great. Granted, no mesh but maybe you can mod them and somehow put the mesh on them. I never considered it and don't want to go to the trouble of uninstalling and then reinstalling them. If anyone does mod them it would be good to post. How often are you staring at your rock guards?

PS - a fair amount of my car is ppf'd, but I still wanted the splash guards - belt and suspenders approach to paint protection.



Agree with this approach. I ordered front and back offshore for 1/4 the price. I'm sure the onshore are better quality - but the ones I purchased fit just fine have held up fine to date and I view them as essentially disposable items anyway.

Finally got the ACSComposite Rock Guards installed... The company first errantly sent me only the fronts even though I bought all four... They quickly turned that around and sent me the full set and asked me to return the two fronts which I did... Twas their choice to do it that way rather than just sending me the two rears.

Then I decided to have my chevy dealer put them on for me... Did that just yesterday... Expensive for sure but I'm glad I finally got them and got them installed...

I really like how the ACS guards are a little longer on the bottom for added protection. But dang they are expensive. I ended up getting Paragon guards for the front and EOS for the rear. Nice ride BTW.
