Default splash guards are on

I did not really want splashguards on my vette. But with the 285/40s up front and the 315/35s on the back I was just throwing too much road crud up on the rockers. GS fender flares are not in my budget, so I went with the Altec splashguards from Tomzwheels.

I am still not sure about the 'looks', but guess it is better than screwing up the rocker panels. I would ask what others think, but I can not find my flame suit.

Looks great on your's. But I think that on my white, they would stand out too much. Black is classy !!!!

They look good. I have the cheap flat ones I put on for long trips, along with the plumbers plug in one each of the B&B exhaust tips

Where did you get the molded and fitted ones?

Tomzwheels (a supporting vendor) at $75 shipped for all 4. I don't need to plug an exhaust tip, all 4 are functional.

Looks nice on black. I don't think it would work on a lighter color though.

Looks good.

I have a red 86 coupe that has the black stripe on it. With the tires being black, a black stripe all the way around - I might be able to pull this off!

i love the look on the black. It makes the front fender look more complete to me. Not sure about the rears. Overall, I like it and for 75$ i like it even more.

I had mine painted to match the car.
Kinda need them when you autocross with 335's on all 4 corners.

Default Looks good.

I was going to start out with something like, "Hey Andy, you going muddin!!!" But it looks good. It is so hard to keep these dark cars clean... my polo is an interesting shade of Polo Green and Georgia Pollen Yellow right now... and that is after the bath this weekend. I drove it for an hour yesterday and it came back dirtier... I have been considering the flaps myself.

I know what you mean. I've been having the same problem over here. My car was covered in pollen last weekend.

They do look good what is the instillation process? are they something you can put on and off in a reasonable amount of time and do you think they will scratch the paint where they were sitting against it? Thanks for any info....

I can almost guarantee it.
