Money does not equate to an item being better then others.
Got mine on Amazon. They came in carbon flash. Less then $52. delivered with tax.
Work just as well as the $500. ones and I have $450. to spend on other accessories.
Throw your money away if you want but I chose not to.

GM versions shown in first images below. Then comparisons of GM vs. ACS Rock Guards. High quality and much thicker and more durable than the ones I had on my '17 Z06.

Sorry for the pic dump but may help folks looking for the GM versions vs ACS vs others.













After pics:

They are the extended ones. Work perfect and I saved $$$$ compared to the ones listed above.
And yes I could afford the $$$$$ ones but chose not to throw money into the wind.

Believe question asked is, are the GM recommended extended guards for $500 the same size as the extended guards offered on Amazon/eBay for $5X.XX? They look about the same and video with lower priced ones mount same as GM ones. Is there a link available to the cheaper ones mentioned in this thread?

Just to clarify, those $500 XL splash guards are from ACS and are not a "GM recommended" product...

Below are the actual GM extended splash guards that can be purchased from GM for ~$120... Extended splash guards similar to GMs can also be found on Amazon and Ebay for $50~$60 for set of 4...

I went with Paragon Performance extended splash guards painted carbon flash. They extend the width of the tire and look good on the car. I looked at the ACS ones at Corvettes at Carlisle last year when I bought other parts from ACS; however, they appear to be the same quality and finish as the ones from Paragon Performance which were cheaper (I bought a full set of 4 on sale for $250).
