They are trivial to install but if you have them how do you like the aesthetics?

I have aftermarket ones but they are pretty much the same size as the GM ones. The GM guards are all but impossible to find in stock. These are the ones I bought for the 22 HTC.
I'm one of those that own the now elusive GM splash guards. They are so subtle and small you really don't notice them at all on the car aesthetics wise and you would notice them on my car more than any other since the car is white and the guards are black.
I have the OEM splash guards and to answer your question, they DO work. Well worth the small investment especially if you live in an area where the roads are trash, they are a must.

He asked if they work? I thought he asked how they looked.
I have the EOS XL splash guards in Carbon Flash. They are a good combo to have with wheels that are flush with the fenders to offer the best protection for the sides against rocks, etc.

As to aesthetics, they are nearly unnoticeable. As to effectiveness... That's hard to judge if not having driven or seen a car without them. That said, a friend of mine also has a C8, but the guards were on constraint when he got his car. It does rain in Washington State, and I looked at his car after driving in the wet and there was assuredly splash marking behind the wheels while there have never been any such marks on mine that has the "stock" GM ones.
I have the elusive OEM splash guards and yes, they are hardly noticeable on the car. Last week I had no choice but to drive thru a pile of mud that lay across the road. When I got home, I expected to see quite a mess on the car. There was virtually no mud on the car. I was really surprised and most satisfied by their performance.
I am about to order some XL ones as I have acquired wheels with a more aggressive offset. Anyone have any insight into the difference between the RPI designs and the Extreme Online versions? I won't go with the ebay versions (I wish I could) as they only seem to offer them at discount in carbon appearance and I am looking for the carbon flash metallic versions. Ebay has them, but they are $310 so no real savings there.

I don't know if there is a difference between the RPI and Extreme versions. I bought the Extreme set and I think they are really nice. The carbon flash paint looks to be done well and high gloss. I don't have my car yet - so these are still sitting in a box.
