I think what he was eluding to was a removable bra… which is kinda what I thought you were speaking to as well. If you said clear bra or PPF, it would have been a bit more clear. I agree, PPF (self healing) is the best solution, albeit expensive.

Hmm, having never used removable it didn't occur to me. But yes, clear bra.

I have Xpel on the front and mirrors, which definitely helps a lot. However, I still had one or two small rocks penetrate that and go mess up the paint underneath, so I don't think anything can realistically provide 100% protection. Trying not to follow semis or bro dozers with no mudflaps also helps.

Has anybody used the RPI Design splash guards on a 2020 and up MY? Their website indicates up thru 2019 MY.

I can’t say for sure, but there is no reason they won’t work. From what I have seen, RPI seems to forget there are model years after 2019 on pretty much all of their product listings. I asked one of their people about it here once and got no response from them why whatever item it was wouldn’t work for 2020 onward. It may be petty of me, but that lack of care or response is enough to make me steer away from buying from them in general. YMMV.

Thanks for the replies. Will probably go with the ZL1 Addons.

No matter which brand you choose to buy, take a careful look at the available pictures of the installed splash guards so you can compare how much they hang down (lower is better to block rocks) and how far to stick out laterally from the fender well (further is better if you want to block rocks). Some brands may look great, but they don't hang down very far or don't protrude laterally as far - kind of negates the point of installing them in the first place. |

Whatever I buy will end up getting double sided tape at the metal edge. As well, and if possible, I’d reach behind the liner and insert some type of backer nut(s) so they can be torqued down properly. One and done for me..just want it to look and work as it should. For anything more than $50, you’d kinda hope that you could use existing screws / backing retainers w/ double sided tape already applied, like ZL1 Addons.

...but then, as you say, they don't extend down as far as ours, which may or may not matter with side skirts... decisions, decisions
