I ve been following this thread forever .....but I just noticed a POSITIVE thread for this item. They cant all be bad. And it seems to me that Jersey is trying to rectify some of the problems. are they expensive.....Yes but its the only product at this time thats available to us. Im still on the fence.

I'd get them if I were you. Now that mine fit well I recommend them for the protection that they offer. If $320.00 doesn't "break the bank" then order some today. You are only saving your paint from being sand blasted.

yes....its the road gravel or pebbles or anything that the front tire kicks back towards the rear. Back East we have sand on the roads year round because of snow removal. Out in California Im sure that the roads are chopped up also to some degree but not for the same reasons. Doesnt some sand get airborne by the Ocean just from the wind? and then theres some desert roads No? Road hazards no matter where your from.

I find it a bit amusing that there is so much discussion over the 25.00 addition to the splash guard, if you can afford to drive and maintain a corvettte whats the problem

so if it fits loose, its no good? ok then it has gaps or a bit of space between it and the car...no-good...ok but then if it fits nice and snug-form fitting touching the car its another bitch fest because it may mar the paint in some way.....holy crap man. i guess you cant win this battle at all apsis. looks like a great product to me, i would buy it. only im not too worried about my paint that much. i have clear protection, my choice. peace

I have a clear wrap also, and the APSIS front wheel guards. They are fantastic and I think fairly priced for what you get.

They fit like a glove. Aircraft quality in my opinion.

Jersey was very helpful working with as well. I can't imagine any complaints against him or the product. My experience was top shelf.
