Just ordered a set!! Being able to see a little 3m tape is better than rock chips!! I love the looks of the side rockers but I just didn't have it in me to drill holes. This was my alternative

I gave up on the rear and put the SS versions on with some black RTV to try to make them look better. Not perfect but better than continuing to chew up the leading edge of the group effects. After 600 miles they are beat up. I'd bet by 2000 miles the front edges will be bare plastic on the roads around here. By the way forgive the dirty car!

Zl1Addons says 2 weeks they will be Availble for the rear.

Also note that they will have a premium version available that will be much thicker.

I'll certainly do something different in time, but will wait and see what comes out. Hoping for some body color ones to be developed but not holding my breath.

That first time you hear a rock SMACK off that plastic, and know it didn't hit your fender, it justifies its entire purchase.
If you can hear rocks hitting your shit, your exhaust is definitely not loud enough.

You can always go to Walmart and pick some up for $20...

I didn't buy these ones I posted. Just trying to help. They are very thick and if you look they are more coverage than normal guards. Go much higher up the wheelwell it appears ...

i can't imagine a rock flying up that high, i put the RPI splash guards on my 5th gen and i haven't had any rock scratches or mud to clean off since.

the only time i have ever seen anything kicked that high from my wheels was water driving at 20mph through half a foot of water.

i guess they are engineered to give better brake cooling as the site says but it's still overpriced for plastic and rivets.
