RPI Stealth Guards - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I know there was a past thread on this a looooong time ago but I received my RPI STEALTH GUARDS PREMIUM(ordered in May, got them in August). No instructions with spacers, clips and long screws. I loved the paint job they did on they one side but they didn't finish the other side(it's suppose to be flat black to match the wheel wells. I was about to just send them back and actually take a $99 hit(or ask them for a store credit) but I saw a few pictures on Google that had these and they looked great. Plus, thanks to all of you, I figured out why my cay was dusty on the panels behind the tires. After 5 tries, I finally got it and they look great in my opinion but I'm real happy with the fact that I will not have to worry about rocks kicking up. Hit me up on PM if you want to know how I did it. Constructive criticism welcome.

No criticism here. Fantastic job. The only way to improve on that cars looks IMO would be ME in the driver seat! LOL! Way to go using Hot Rod ingenuity to overcome a mediocre product.

Looks good! Sorry to hear RPI isn't moving quickly. Perhaps it's COVID related because they always used to be pretty awesome.

Thank you for the compliments. I did hear some stories about this guard, so I'll see how it goes. I'm just tired of the dirt from not having any. I also didn't have to do anything that would not allow me to remove them and put it back to stock. That's the price we pay for wider tires. BTW, your Camaros are beauts too!

I got my RPI stealth but just the plain black ones 6 years ago. I am surprised it is holding up really well. I thought it would crack and fall apart after a year.
I did not know they now come pre-painted. I will check it out.
LOL on the non-existent instructions. Even a windshield wiper comes with instructions. I had no idea where the spacers go, and so on.
I got help from this forum for the install.
