Splash guards

Camaro fanboy · 05-23-2021, 11:17 AM

Hi guys.
need to get some splash guards for my baby. i would like just black plastic ones.
So any recomendations?

I purchased a set from ACS composites. Not cheap but they do fit very nicely.

There are cheaper, simpler ones from ZL1 addons. If I were to need new ones, I would get those.

Lots of people also recommend adding sideskirts to prevent rockchips.

Do you mean flat or molded?

I have the deluxe ZL1 Addons ones on the front and rear of my 2016 1LT. Around 40K miles on them and they are doing fine. They were one of the first mods I made to my new 3LT. They seem to be effective and the price is very reasonable compared to the other options.

Some people don't like the look, but they are pretty inconspicuous, as shown by the following photos. My Camaro has gotten many compliments over the years, but never one mention (pro or con) of the rock guards. Except when I am down in the wheel well washing the car or doing other work, I hardly even notice them anymore.

Since it's your baby, I'll recommend the créme-de-la-créme $398 model from ACS Composites, but the deluxe version of mudflaps from either ZL1 Addons or RPI Designs will work perfectly, too (for one third the price), they just don't look OEM. You know, glorified mudflaps

Everyone’s different , but I’d sooner gouge my eyes out with a dull stick, before I spent that kind of $ on mudflaps.

I actually prefer the look of ZL1 addons, very subtle. I love ACS products lord knows I’ve spent enough money with them, but their molded rock guards to me are too much. They stand out and the ZL1 ones you hardly notice them. But as always different strokes for different folks. Pick up whatever looks better to you, function is pretty much the same.

GM makes factory color matched ones that aren't too terribly expensive.

Zl1 add ons deluxe versions(thicker)work great and for me are nice enough. Acs are great but at $400?

I ordered the GM ones off ebay and the brackets were missing. They box was sealed so I don't know. The seller was of no help so I returned them.

I ended getting the ACS ones ($$$) but the fit was perfect. They are wider than the GM ones which I preferred since I have the 1LE package and the tires really stick out.

If you are worried about rock chips, I think the ACS flaps are worth the money for the extra protection.

ZL1addons has my vote. I used longer spacers in back for better fit. These were very early and spacer thickness may have changed in mean time.
