Anybody make SMALL splash guards for our cars?

I don't like the look of the GM ones at all, I see ZL1 Add Ons makes some, but they look too big and clunky. Does anyone make a set like the ZL1 Add Ons ones, but smaller?

The ZL1 Addon ones are not that big. They actually look pretty good in my opinion. The cover the front wheel almost perfectly. I havent installed the rear ones yet.

I dont have a picture for you sorry, but TBH, they really fit well especially given the price point. They are going to get beat to crap just remember that, cheaper to replace in another 30k miles

I'm not sure what good they'll do if you go any smaller than those options.

Another vote for the ZL1 add ons rock guards. In person they really just kind of blend in with the tire/wheel well.. I don't even notice them when I look at my car. Worth it for their price point, and looks OEM. They are about the smallest you're going to get out of a product that will still protect the paint.

Look at some of the side shots of my walk around video - you can't even see them really

I know what you mean about the ZL1 AddOns guards...I think they are too "big" too. I do however like how thin they are and how they mount. I had ones that were more narrow on my Mustang and they worked fine, you don't need ones that are that big to protect as the fenders fade inward after the wheel well openings...

I actually emailed them the other day, asking if they would make a more narrow set, one off, or even as an alternative choice. I even offered to be the "tester" and such. All I got was a "call the number" response, I wrote back two more times, no response...I can't make all sorts of calls at work, so email would be easier. If someone knows anybody who works there, please tell them to contact me, as it looks like we may even have more interest in this.

The yellow portion in the attached image is how I would like them...is this what you are looking for too?

You could always buy a set and trim them to fit your needs

I thought about that, but I was worried about the edges not looking as "finished".

I just upgraded to their deluxe ones, would be willing to part with my original ones on the cheap! You could give it a shot to trim them, but I think you would need to reapply the tape for the front ones, 3M double-sided tape works great!

Humm, shoot me a PM with a price...if I don't hear back from them I may just give it a shot. Hopefully they don't look like ass when I trim them up...
