Default Badges & mud flaps:)

Raining cats & dogs today so only this iPhone pic in the garage. I installed the Apsis GS splash shields and thier CG grand sport emblems. I'll put on some CG hash stripes later. The emblems take 45 minutes and the flaps 3 minutes. I didn't remove the wheels, just turned them full lock. Next up? Kenwood nav/DVD,back up cam, MGW and heated seats. Figure I'll do it all at once & get it over with..... I hate little interior clips

Best investment I made for the GS was the Apsis splash guards. You should hear all the crap bouncing off of them.

Can you post a picture of what the Apsis splash shields look like from the front of the car? I'm on the fence as to whether or not to order some of these.

Thanks!

John

GM puts on the "4x4" guards on the ZR1 and Z06. Do you hate them on those cars?

I went with the splash shields because GM put them on the rear & these look the same. I might clear bra also, depending on debris blasting the sides. They mount w/2 screws, couldn't be easier.

I think they look great.I put them on mine so I can go 4 wheeling now anytime I want and don't worry about slinging all that mud and rock all over the car.

I like the look as well as the lack of paint chips they provide.

Ok, here's a question...

Since Z06's and ZR1's come with ones that apparently work ok, would they fit properly in a GS wheel well?

They already come standard on the rear only on ZR1, Z06 and Grand Sport. Fronts have nothing.
