Check out "xtreme racing". Search splash guard on their site. I have front and rears installed and just ordered a set for in front of the front wheels from them as well. Check my garage for photos

The OEM Chevy ZL1 guards are the ones I choose because they are stealth and the back ones are 3D fitted precisely molded to the existing bumper cover contour, brackets, and liner without drilling new holes and use existing mount points.
None of the other kits looked to me like they would fit as good as these.

The front use a combo of existing fasteners and then drill one tiny hole in the fender margin per instructions for extra security.

Found discounted on ebay couple years ago. Also made some patterns and cut/applied clear XPEL film to help out.
They are stealthy and seem to disappear when viewed from side front like in pic below.

I have ZL1 for the rear and have RPI designs for the front. One of my front ones just snapped though, no idea what from. I just ordered the RPI premium fronts, supposed to be a heavier plastic.

The zl1 rears are great though, fairly stealthy and work quite well.

Hey guys... I just got a set of ZL1's but I don't want to do guards. Has anyone tried any of the adhesive films out there (ala clear bra)?? I know that film would not be a permanent solution but I'd be OK replacing it once a year if needed..

Love my ZL1Addons rockguards, super subtle and get the job done well

sweetsncheese · 07-12-2017, 06:07 PM

I went with the RPI ones on my 2014 but the person who installed them for me didn't care for the brackets that needed to be installed with the front guards, and neither did I as they clipped onto the wheel well and paint.

Do the ZL1Addon guards have clips? I have a 2015 now and need rockguards.

On mine, I had the Husky front and the ZL1 rear, but I changed out the fronts for custom made versions that I made myself. I extended them down even further to protect the lower rockers as well.
