mud guards

[Ita vette]

hey guys , what would u recommend as mud guards
the ACS COMPOSITE XL size or not ... i will be ordering some soon....

I have the XL. Both front and rear. Install was straight forward. The holes for the screw on the underside (both fronts) were mis-aligned, so it took a bit of gronching to get it screwed in. Other than that they look good and offer good protection. Cheap they are not.

Have the XL front and rear in carbon flash.....they look totally stock, which is what I love about them. For the stingray enhanced may be large enough as I don’t believe they have the issues the Z06 does.

It wasn’t a big deal. They were only about 1/4 inch off. I was able to angle the screw and get it started then it pulled it into place. Alternatively I could have made the hole in the mud guard a little bigger then that would have worked as well.

Not sure if you read this thread below or not. I feel that the enhanced are good enough for the Stingray and the XL is better suited for the Widebody.

I purchased the Enhanced Set and is working on removing the Textured Stock Finish to spray them Carbon Flash. Did not test fit them yet though.

I have been looking for splash guards after getting my 2019 C7 home and it seems there are lots of options in the USA but not much in Canada. I took a chance and bought these from Amazon, Ruien brand, for $89. They arrived next day and the fronts fit %100 perfect, the rears I would say %98 as...

I believe in maximum protection.

I have a Z51 also.
So far I only did the first coat of Carbon Flash, probably won't get around to them until a week or so. I could share a pic if you are interested.

 

[Ita vette]

yes pls do..... wanting to buy them soon in May my bby is out

This is just the first light coat.
I have to do about three more Coats.

If you want maximum protection then as mentioned above the XL is best. I purchased the Front Splitter and Side Skirts from ACS and the quality is very good.
Not too concerned about the Splash Guards as they will get peppered with debris.
I figure the total cost of the Splash Guards including Paint to be around $130 CDN. Vs $560 for the Enhanced or $700 for the ACS XL Package.
No questioning the ACS quality though.

ohhhhh getting different answers, did u get the XL type or not

 

[turbozig]

Started off with the factory GM ones, then switched to the ACS extended. Now I switched and have the XL ones installed on my car along with the ACS Zero 1 side skirts. They fit mine perfectly. No more rock issues any longer. Wish they had them when I originally purchased my car. No regrets!

did u do any drilling ????

 

[turbozig]

did u do any drilling ????

Had to drill holes for the side skirts only, screwed and rivited on. The splash guards were a direct switch from the factory ones.

i heard that makes me nervous doing so... and u had the 3m tape to secure right

Never used the 3M tape, drilled holes and rivited, all good and super secure. I would not trust two way tape, especially on spirited runs.
