Yes, I really like mine. They pretty much stop the throwing of rocks at the car and I don't have side skirts. I'll leave the skirts for the ladies.
To be fair, I also switched to the Conti Extreme Contact DW tires and ditched the Michelin's. They were way too aggressive for the street.

They are better than nothing but they don't stop all of the stuff flying back into the brake duct area. They need to be lower to stop the debris from hitting the brake duct and rear quarter. I have the Stage 3 Aero and the debris blows right by the side skirts (they are narrower at the front so don't really provide any protection.

Here is a picture showing what I mean.

This was taken with my iPhone camera lens located in the brake duct looking forward to the ACS guard and the front tire. The car is black the guards are black the side skirts are black and the tires are black so I used some green tape on the ACS guard to try and highlight the edge of the guard. The tire is sitting on a brown piece of Masonite. Debris leaves the tire on a tangent. The arrow points to the beginning of the tangential direct path to the camera lens from the bottom of the tire as it would rotate upward while rolling forward. The green line outlines the part of the tire that is visible from the camera lens. The triangular portion of the line at the bottom of the tire is the area that provides the sand blast. You can see that without the side skirt the tire would throw even more dirt so the guard does work but doesn't prevent all of the damage. If it was an inch and a half or maybe two inches lower it would do fine.

If you decide you want the ACS front mudflaps, I have a set in Carbon Flash that have never been installed. I bought them and they wouldn't fit with the Weapon X side skirts I had already installed. The side skirts extend into the wheel well about an inch and I would have to modify the flaps to try and make them fit. They are sitting on my tool box, I was going to return them but it seemed to be a hassle to try and send them back to Canada. Shoot me a PM if you have an interest.

I like mine. Look good and work well enough. With suntek down the door and rear quarter, no issues at all.

Save your money and but these for $13.00 I had the ACS there not wide enough or long enough.

I have ACS guards, XPEL on the rockers, black electrical tape to further protect the duct openings. I have no skirts. About 4,000 miles and the tape has taken a few hits - but everything else us pretty much unscathed.

I have GM splashguards (I didn't like the look of the wider ones), Xpel on the rockers (and elsewhere) and ACS sideskirts. I feel pretty well protected but I still see pebbles flying everywhere, especially on turns.

I am wondering if that will reduce when I switch to Contis, which I might do for the winter. Trying to decide if I want to swap tires on the factory wheels, or just buy another set of wheels and tires...

The O'Reilly guards come in 3 sizes (A, B & C). Which size did you buy and install please??

My ACS have done well for the last 2,000 miles. The front splash guards, side skirts, plus some black electrical tape on the brake duct edges seems to do the job.
