I'm just curious why the price difference vs the American Muscle.

Already told my parts guy to return the GM splash guards. Hate to be 'that' customer. Oh well. At least I didn't actually pick them up yet. Read your post about the Rokblokz - the ZL1 addons look to be the same style. Rokblokz being slightly longer, maybe...
My C7 Carbon skirts are holding up very well, they're made from thick fiberglass and still attached as tight as on day 1, even though I only used the included self-tappers and tape, not rivets (of which I'm not a fan). Paint quality is good, too, no blotches or runs or anything, they look close to OEM.

The Rokblokz mudflaps are the same price, but much more sturdy and wider, which matters a lot with our 1LE steamrollers. The rear guard stretches all the way across the rear tire, whereas the ZL1 Addons and RPI and other only extend halfway in, meaning the diffuser gets barraged and ravaged from half the tire.

Never worry about the GM splash guards, they'll sell easily as an unopened package (who knows, the parts dept may even have an online portal like trunkmonkeyparts.com or gmpartsdirect.com. Oh, and by the way, the GM splash guards attach with rivets (as well), so they're more difficult to switch away from. I had them on my previous V6 Camaro, they look nice, but don't protect too well either.
