Which Rock Guards to use on New SS 1Le??

The wife and I got our 17 SS 1le a few weeks ago and I've been researching these forums/ internet a bit and have read that installing Rock Guards is a good idea, I def agree. I've seen some people mention Zl1addons.com Rock Guards. I've also found through a local Chevy Dealership website, Moritz Chevrolet Fort Worth, they have a list of accessories that include their Rock Guards.
Has anyone tried the GM version Rock Guards?
Any ideas how GM brand compares to Zl1addons.com Rock Guards?

Attached a screenshot of GM brand w/ cost & part#.

I have the front and rear sets on my Camaro. I got them for $212 shipped from GM Parts Authority in Nightfall Gray. I put them on as fast as I could after purchasing my Camaro. I had the Scotchguard Pro clear bra installed over the nose and side mirrors as well. These two products have done great protecting the car so far.

The guards are excellent. They are flawlessly color-matched, and look as if they should have came on the car from the factory. They went on fairly easily, and fit perfectly too. Highly recommended. 👍🏻

Great, that's exactly what I was hoping for.
I was about to order the ones from Zl1addons before I found these available from GM.
I'm going to have to order the front and rear set soon.
Thanks

You will not be disappointed with their look, quality or functionality. 👍🏻

I had the OEM but now I will order the ZL1 addons as I will add the ZL1 side skits and with the OEM’s I have to modify too much.

I really like the GM color matched guards, but don't like the idea of having to rivet the fronts in place. Do the rivets just attach to the wheel well liner?

I also like the ZL1 Addons deluxe guards, but there have been quite a few complaints about how the fronts attach (i.e. you can see the 3M tape edge, fall off after a few months, etc.).

ZL1 addons rock guards provide better coverage than the GM splash guards. Have no problem with them

This. The ZL1 addons offer the best protection for the 1/4 panels out there .

I've researched the ZL1 Addons deluxe guards a bit more; looks like they now include a clip to help keep the fronts in place. Does anyone know what this new clip attaches to? I didn't see anything on their website about it, unless I missed it?

Mine was held in with a fender liner push pin if that's what your thinking of?

I agree, the ZL1 add ons look like they may protect a bit more, but the look, figment, and fit and finish of the GM ones is awesome. I was willing to take a hair less protection, if that is in fact true, for the look and quality of the GM ones, but I can see that the ZL1 add ons are a fine choice as well. ����

GM guards. Look better IMO, plus they dont come off in the rain since the tape is tucked under the guard. 10/10. I had both, and the GM stops as much dirt and dust, without seeming like a cheap mud flap.
