I have the oem splash guards. They were on the car during the purchase. They offer some protection from road grime. However if your in area with less than ideal kept roadways or if you track then your best bet is go with larger such as ZL1 add-on versions. I have to tape up the rear quarter to keep the road rash during my track days. Still I have some chipping through the clear coating and some in the base paint.
They color matched OEM are nice looking but offer the least amount of rock grim sludge or rock chipping. |

That's true, at least not 100%.
I have the OEM molded pre-painted guards. Love the appearance. They're better than no guards at all. The rear guards do a great job. No chips yet for me. The front guards don't stop rocks from hitting the area in front of the rear wheels. OEM Front guards + PPF in front of the rear wheels is what I did. Replaced the tiny factory PPF with pieces that go up to the body seam. After one year, mine have a couple marks in them, which would have been paint chips otherwise. Planning on replacing the PPF with new pieces this spring.

This is a huge issue with me. My 1LE is brand new, black, with 500 km on it. The rear lower quarters are already peppered. ZL1Addons rock guards were on since day 1.they don't help at all. Waiting for sides skirts to come in, hopefully they help a bit. I plan on getting the chips filled and putting more clear film on. It is driving me crazy.
