Splash guard suggestions for 2023 ZL1

Anyone add splash guards to their ZL1? Looking for suggestions as the Chevy part is not compatible with the ZL1.

Rokblokz in the front and zl1 addons in the rear worked best for me. I found the mounting method for each brand in each respective location worked best.

I was FIRMLY against doing rock gaurds when I first got my ZL1 last September. Here it is the end of May and I put ACS rock gaurds on 2 weeks ago and couldn't be happier! Nice gloss black finish, fit well and looks like they're supposed to be part of the car. My ZL1 is black so they blend in nicely but I've seen them on other colors and they look great with the gloss black side skirts! A little pricey, but 100% worth it it my opinion! After all..it IS A $70K+ car...so what's $400 more to protect your paint?!

True, true, but all this **** adds up quickly. A little PPF here, a bit of ceramic there, oh, and a nice splitter protector, not even mentioning interior upgrades... those $99 Rokblokz mudflaps that are actually larger than the ACS, span the full width of the tire (in the rear) and also protect the rear diffuser start to look very attractive all of a sudden

Can't argue with you there! Especially since I also got the PPF and Ceramic . I already didn't like the idea of "mudflaps" on my damn sports car so for me to get the ACS ones was a BIG deal. They aren't as wide as rockblokz but I wanted them to "blend" in with the car as much as possible vs sticking out like a sore thumb(not knocking rockblokz at all , but you get what I mean here).

Another vote for ACS here. They aren’t cheap, but look great and aren’t a flat piece of cheap plastic either. They do work and look like they came on the car.

Agreed. ACS on mine. Pricy, but look and fit like OEM.

All good, I hear you and those ACS guards looks very sweet indeed (BTW the Robklokz do blend in a bit, their angular edge cuts follow the car's lines, and they have nice edge bead, too, not simply trimmed with a table saw... just saying )

For sure! Not knocking the look of the Rockblokz(or any other brands for that matter). Just like everything else with the Camaro, it's you(the buyer/owner's money and personal preference) so do what YOU like and makes YOU happy! That's why I love the car world(Camaros in particular, but all in general). I like seeing what other people do to their cars. It makes them unique

I ran ACS rock guards on my car for a while and they fit great and look great. I installed an Anderson Composites carbon fiber diffuser and had to switch up my rock guards to the zl1addons to fit with the diffuser. I did a video of the zl1 addons rock guards and compared them side by side with the ACS for anyone curious on the differences:



Also to note.. ACS front and back runs about $400 and the zl1addons deluxe front and back runs about $100.

I went with the Rock Guards from ZL1 add ons. Install was simple, they stick out just as much as I wanted from the wheel well, and they seem to be doing what they were designed for.

Question, are they truely exactly the same part, or are they a knock off design. I’m going to be buying a set soon, thank you.

Check out my linked video above and you can see exactly the differences between them.
