Popular vendors include Phastek Performance and Wildhammer Motorsports. There are many others though.

I've had ZL1 Addons rock guards on other vehicles and they work great, but aren't molded to fit the vehicle.
One other thing about the ACS rock guards and side skirts is that they are designed to be used together if you want both. And you can purchase them directly from ACS. I'm very happy with them.

All three options are great. Those high quality ACS rock guards appeal to people who prefer molded, 100% OEM looking pieces even if they're expensive, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
The ZL1 Addons (or RPI) mudflaps are simple and cheap, whereas my Rokblokz units have several advantages over them: thicker material, wider profile both front and rear, better mounting hardware (big bolts for the rear, non-marring front attachment), full coverage across 305 width rear tires which also protects the rear diffuser, lines that are a perfect match with the pre-refresh Camaro design, to name a few, at the same price as other mudflaps. Then again, these don't look as fancy as molded, glossy ABS pieces.
Good thing we have options here as well
In terms of vendors, I've had much success with GMPartsDirect and RockAuto for OEM stuff, then Phastek, Wildhammer, RPI, Gen5DIY, C7 Carbon, Next-Gen Speed and a few others for aftermarket parts.
