Default It's Back ** Original Pipedreams Splash Guards**



They are here in stock and are the best (hands down) selling protection on the forum. The reviews are AAA+++ over and over again. Don't wait for mystery products that will never happen or cost 5 x's my price. By that time you will have destroyed your car. Buy from a vendor that cares about you and has delivered time after time

Other molded Z06 like guards are rigid and will damage even more then your cars paint will. A guard needs to be made of a flexible resilient material like mine

40 sets in stock ready to ship tomorrow. LINK TO ORDER

For those that don't know the story, I developed a set of splash guards for my car over 18 months ago. All that saw them love the way they disappeared once on the car. One thing lead to another and they became the hottest item on the forum. Simple to install (no screws) and worked with all colors with there satin black finish. They were produced from a material called duraflex. Duraflex is designed from the start as a splash guard material for extreme hot/cold and guaranteed for life. The company making the duraflex closed shop and I could not find a material I would approve to replace it, so I was out of business. I could have made them out of cheap plastics but that is not how I work.

Well duraflex is back and so are my original splash guards. Due to the popularity of my design others copied them but made the fronts shorter (to save on material) and from a cheap plastic that often had an undercoating on them The copies sold for about $5 less but you get what you pay for

In about a week I will have the first 36 sets built and ready for shipping. I am taking pre orders at the special price of $49.99 + shipping.

LINK TO ORDER

You get both the front and rear set and a full page of instructions with pictures

YOU NEED THESE

If you have a C6 you already realized that those massive sticky tires are constantly throwing rocks and other debris, including tar and road oils on your $50k paint job.

If you don’t take steps to protect the paint you will have a sandblasted / rock chipped finish in as little as a few 1000 miles. These are made from Long Life Duraflex (satin black finish, works with any color) These attach with no modifications, drilling or tape.

They attach using three of the factory fasteners in minutes in the front, and two speed clips on the rear (no special tools needed). The result is the most effective protection you can buy.

They have been designed to protect yet provide a clean and almost invisible install (they are even hard to see in pictures so I had to over expose them just so you could see them)

I've had mine on for 9 months and they show no sign of wearing out or weathering. Very good product! Nice to see you back, Ed!

I had a set of the other look alike gaurds, and they look terrible after only a couple months. The coating is coming off I just ordered a set of yours. Thanks for bring them back.

I'll take lengthy detailed instructions over poor instructions any day. It saves me time, frustration and possible damaging mistakes.

Default I have a set

of Ed's splash guards and they are excellent! They just aren't noticeable on MS, or any color I imagine. I have those and the
3M film behind each wheel well. Worth the $$. Easy to install!

Thanks Ed!

Simple, most would only write a sentience, but I always go overboard. The Z06 wireless exhaust switch is as simple as changing a fuse and I have two full pages on that

Oh go away! I'll take too much instruction over too little any day. The instructions that came with my Vararam for so bad I probably could have done it faster without them.

The flaps look just fine... well, you can hardly see them anyway, they're very small and subtle. They're just big enough to protect the paint, but yet not big enough to cause any visual disturbance. Flat black in color, they blend right in with the tires. A classy and functional product.

Well n00b, are you happy now? Get the reaction you wanted? You will find that it is bad form to bad mouth a forum vender. Might get you a trip to band camp. And anyway. these are so inconspicuous as to be nonexistant. But I don't have a single ding after 8000 miles.

Just got my "other brand" ones in the mail today. I wish I would have known about yours first.
Is there really that much of a difference? They look pretty much the same in the pictures I've seen posted.

Oh I am by no means badmouthing a vendor-I am sure these are the top of the line mudflaps out there-and no disrespect-just like some poeple surely like painted calipers and some do not-I just personally do not like the look-I could have been more subtle-but flaps are just one of those things on cars, along with mustangs with the "grill thingy"on the back window-that have always looked terrible to me-but if you want flaps these are surely the ones to go for-look like a great product
