ZLE Splash Guards

LeonardS · 06-06-2022, 04:18 PM

I have a ZLE in Rapid Blue coming later this Summer. I have about 50 yards of gravel driveway from the road to my garage, so splash guards may be a necessity. I don’t want to drill any extra holes, so what brand looks and fits best on the ZLE’s. I did search the forum, but didn’t find anything that was ZLE specific.

the ZL1 add on's set does not require any drilling. They use the holes in your fender liner that are already there.

I used the ZL1 Add-ons for my 2016 1LT and had no issues with numerous (at least weekly) trips to a horse ranch with gravel covered driveways. My tires were a bit narrower than yours though.

Are the ZL1 Add-ons the only ones that don’t require additional holes? If so, the choice will be easy.

My driveway is almost 550 feet, all crusher run gravel. I kept the speed under 8 mph and car was chip free 2 years after buying it.

With no rock guards at all? I’m fine with the go slow approach, but many seem to comment about the wide tires and rock chips.

Look at the ACS ones. In my opinion they look the best. They are expensive & tiny though. I recommend getting some ppf put behind both the front & rear impact area & the area right in front of the rear wheel

I switched to Rokblokz and never regretted it.

These are the only mudflaps that span the entire width of the rear tire (saving the diffuser), the fronts are wider than any other rock guard yet looking fine, and they're made from a very sturdy, thick material, the manufacturer even added a nice plastic bead to the inner edge. Best of all, no metal to metal connection to attach the front flaps, which helps preserve the paint on the inside of the fenders.

All this for the same price as the weaker and smaller RPI Designs or ZL1 Addons products, which is about 1/4th of the price ACS is asking for their (undoubtedly good looking but much narrower) offering.

Were any additional holes required?

Doesn't look like it. https://rokblokz.com/products/chevro...sh-guards-2016

I have the ZL1 Addons Deluxe rock guards and I've been really happy with them, but I never saw those Rokblokz before. Pretty cool and they definitely offer better coverage, although I think I still prefer the aesthetics of the ZL1 Addons rock guards.

Here is a pic of what the ZL1 Addons look like on my car.

Southern Car Parts offers a similar black splash guard. Anyone try these?https://www.southerncarparts.com/201...uestion-answer

SS_Don · 06-06-2022, 09:02 PM

I use the Deluxe Rock Guards from ZL1addons on my 2SS.

No extra holes anywhere, it reuses 2 existing holes in the front and 3 in the rear, all changes are reversible and the car remains pristine.

SCP sells essentially the same splash guard product as RPI Designs and ZL1 Addons. The Rokblokz is a different and, in my experience, superior design.

None. Just keep the speed down. And I am anal concerning paint chips.
