Default RPI.....where are the splash guards?

Spring is here for most of us, are the splash guards actually going to happen?

RPI, I'm sure you're busy with other projects but you're missing an opportunity here with many of us waiting to see your product. Could you please give us an update?

Thanks

Must be compatible with the side skirts! Apsis' are not.

Jersey said if there was a demand to use with side skirts, he would make them.

RPI made mention of making them in a thread a long time ago and since has not come back on to say when or even show a picture. We were all hoping that RPI would make them and they would be less expensive that Apsis.

Guess, we are all still waiting.

The new apsis splash guards look better than the originals but they dont work with side skirts and i still dont like how they wrap around and touch the paint on the fender. I was hoping RPI would present another option since there is huge demand for it.

Not many people willing to pay $350 also. That is highway robbery for a couple pieces of plastic that chip up anyway.

You're exactly right. At $350, I'd need splash guards for my slpash guards

Better than chipping your paint. I love my Apsis splash guards.

I really liked the carbon fiber ones Andrew6 posted for the same price $350. But would like to see photos of the splash guards installed. I still have about a month before I get my car so if nothing is available I will go with cleartastic for just the front.

Get notified of new replies

To RPI.....where are the splash guards?

I have to join in. If someone would make them at a reasonable price and they fit, they would sell a ton. I have an 09 Z06 and I would be first in line. I can't figure-out why nobody wants to jump on this market opportunity. If I had the know how - I would.
