They look much better than those eye sores they put on the gen5.

You're right about that. It took a few tries before my dealer was able to get them installed snug and perfect.

Anyone have a link to the install instructions for the splash guards? Just ordered mine today. I know I'll need a rivet gun.

My dealer initially installed them incorrectly.


I asked them if they really thought this looked correct and they said no.

Do them yourself, mine went on perfect the first time, and look snug a year later.

Has anyone applied the splash guards on a Fifty? If so, can you share your pictures?

I scanned what was in the boxes. I just got them yesterday and haven't installed them yet but it looks pretty easy if you're careful.

Did you get the body color or black? Just curious. I ordered the black and should be here shortly.

I got the body colored since my car is silver. Wasn't sure how the black would look, although it would match the top.

Seems like a lot of work and spent money for something you really dont see. Save the dollars and put it towards vinyl stripes, different rims, better emblems...etc. . Something everyone else will notice instead of just you. I have a free set from the dealer collecting dust in the garage.

All I see in the posted pics are your awesome Camaros, most with stripes. Splash guards would be the last thing I would ever notice, but we all need to spend our disposable income on something useless!

They are far from useless, 3000 miles in and areas behind the wheels are completely clear of rocks and dings. They work.......
