Best rock guards/splash guards that are $500?
What brand splash guard is good to go with!? I've ordered the 1s off of Amazon and had 2 return them both. They all seem to have serious fitment issues. For example: the top of the splash guard on the rears, hangs out and isn't flush. I'd rather not go with ACS composite brand and spend $500 on $10 worth or plastic

I have the factory installed ones that I purchased with my car. They are perfect. I’ve had others that were cheaper but always had fitment issues, etc. You probably could get them.

Check the for sale section.Members switch out parts often.Pricey truck flaps out there.If you like,Go for it.GM work just fine.

I have the ACS splash guards on my 22 Camaro ZL1. They are superb in fit and finish, look OEM, and installation instructions.
Pricy? Yes.

But compared to the extended GM version on my 17 GS... night and day.

EOS XL rock guards F/R. Very happy with them. Looks the same as ACS just less $$.

While ACS is expensive, you get what you pay for with them - top quality and perfect fit. I have installed ACS extended guards on my C5, C6 and C7 with no regrets. Do you have the OEM guards now, or are you trying to replace the OEM guards?

- the side skirts really stop the rock chips. I did go with the extended splash guards from GM.

I got the optional GMs soon after I got my '18 in late '17, and have been perfectly pleased with them.

Back to square one, several of our club members, including myself, have purchased the $18 ones from Amazon, and fitment is great! Maybe they have finally perfected their molds or something, but they look perfect. Now if they would just make an inexpensive front air dam set!!!

I have YHTAUTO, they appear identical to the GM ones and fit perfectly for $39.89
I buy a new set every winter and throw the old ones away. Keeps them looking new.
