Hello all,

Can anyone recommend splash guards that will fit with the GFX option?

Thanks,

IMO if you have ground effect you don't need splash guards.

I got some stealth splash guards I am going to try and use once I paint them to match.

The GM splash guards will not fit if you have GFX installed. Your only option is RPIs stealth splash guards.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm looking to protect the rear quarters more than the fronts.

You really should be concerned about the side gills more than anything else.

Please post pics when you get them on.

Anyone else have the RPI stealth guards installed?

The RPI Stealth guards look like regular flat splash guards I used to use back in the day that either screw on with self tappers or clips. Seems like you could do that and save some coin.... just sayin'.......

Leave mud flaps for trucks they look like crap on a car! Stick to the gfx

Looking at mine it seems as though the GFX act as a natural guard with the way they're designed and protrude outward in the wheel or tread path.

I thought the gfx and side rockers helped some. I remember reading somewhere that they still get hit pretty good in the gills?

I had them before I got GFX. They're very effective and hardly noticeable.

Now being switched to GFX to you have the same or close to the same protection against the chips to the gill area?
