Did you get short or long rock guards? I see only fronts online.

Thanks.
I ordered the long rock guards it fits perfectly. I painted both sides gloss black I know one side is textured, but it blends in perfectly to the side skirt.

That was quoted by everydaydriver. “This car defies gravity.”

Got the long RG front only.

Judging by the M3 in front of me at least 12 inches. Landing was great but ABS started firing off for some reason, I had to brake twice to get the thing to actually stop

It was the last day of 4 driving around the NC500 in Scotland https://www.northcoast500.com/ - the car was insanely good, almost like it was made for it - scenery wasnt bad either - the link at the end is a video:

Got the ZL1 long rock guards but I only see one bottom oem screw.

Drilling needed for other two screws? Plus, texture side facing wheel?

Thanks.

I have the short version. I just used the bottom screw and 3M double sided tape the rest of the rock guard. No issues for 20k miles and 6 years. Did not want to do any drilling.

Yea I know. Didn’t like the idea of punching a hole in a 1500 mile car back then either but it’s done and no worries about tape being compromised after many many washings with my pressure washer under fender wells
Tough choice I know
