Finally we get our C5 Splash Guards (Z06 Style) done.

Now we start to accept back orders. If you order now, we will hold the first batch of production for you.

Price:

Black Raw Kit: $188/pair either Front Wheel or Rear Wheel
Carbon Kit: $750/pair either Front Wheel or Rear Wheel (available black carbon or silver carbon)

Delivery: about 6-8 weeks

How to Order: PM, send email to jw@apsisusa.com or apsisusa@aol.com, or call us at 1-800-68APSIS (6827747)

How to Install:

For the Front Wheel, we reuse the two existing factory screw holes and screws. We also add 3M tape at the upper curve area to secure this thin section.

For the Rear Wheel, we design to mount one screw underneath the Splash Guards that you won't see. (there is no factory screw that we can apply) The whole vertical section of Splash Guards is secured by 3M tape. We also pre-drill one screw hole at the upper corner and supply one screw for each pc. We suggest to add this extra screw for extra security but we let the customers to make final decision. The weight will be supported by the screw underneath. The 3M tape is to hold it in place.

We also supply 3M Adhesive Promotor (very strong stuff) to work with 3M tape. Once the 3M tape touch with the 3M Promoter, the adhesion will be so strong that you can't believe.

I am interested in a pair.If i order now am i suppose to pay now, 6 to 8 weeks in advance?

apsisusa

No, we just write up your back order and then we will hold the allocation for you from our first batch of production.

We won't charge you untill the parts are ready to ship.

In our C6 experience, some customers had to wait 6-8 weeks if they don't have back order.

Yes, you can remove it without damaging the paint. But most likely you will destroy the Splash Guards.

We understand it's not cheap for our Molded Splash Guards. But don't forget, it will really work well to "protect" your lovely car. When your paint was chipped by rocks or pebbles, it will cost you much more to paint.

Other than keeping your car clean & protecting the paint, it's also stylish. We won't sell thousands and thousands of kit. But in order to make even one kit, we have to invest mold cost upfront to be able to produce the parts. For C6, we had to throw away two sets of mold because the fitting was not good enough. (it's part of our learning cost since we never make Splash Guards before) But at least we make it available for the Corvette community so you can purchase it if you want it.

The C5 had been on the market from 97-04 and till today no vender is willing to make it available. It's not no vender see the market demand, it's the tooling cost that stop them. Now it's 3 years after C5 had been stopped from GM production, finally we encourage ourselves to make it available. We don't even know if we can sell enough kits to pay our mold investment. So please support us to sell some kits to cover our tooling cost & make some bucks.

Some C5 customers say "Most C5 customers had paid off their car and had $$$ for the Bling". We do hope this is the case.

There is one C5 owner (screen name NemesisC5) who has the C6 Z Splash Guard installed on his car and I asked him to report what's his experience regarding modifying by himself.

This is what he responsed in our original thread "Free C5 Splash Guards for customers in Long Island". We suggest you to check that original thread. You can also see the pictures of his car.

I copy his reply and post here for C5 members' reference. As you can see, it's not as easy as you may think to modify by yourself.

Many of them wished we had our Molded Z Splash Guards earlier so they didn't have to go through that experience. Is it worth the labor to modify by yourslef?

Rgds,

Mine were installed at a bodyshop at the time of L5 Flared Rear Quarter install & paint. I did however speak with the installer and it was no simple procedure to be done right. Several cycles of "trim & fit" were required so as not to trim too much material on the splash guards. IMHO, I would much rather purchase them made for the C5 application making the install EASY for the DIY person such as myself or an installer that has no patience for "custom work". Many shops refuse custom work, and some that will do it, don't do it well

Wah

They look short and probably don't offer much protection for the rocker panels/bottom of rear bumper.

Dang, $188 a pair. I'll have to skip.

Some customers request the pictures of Carbon Z Splash Guards.

Here is the one on C6 so you can get the idea. Basically C5 is very similiar to C6.

apsisusa

Thanks, jdmvette. I read all the responses in your thread and surprisingly to know that we are the first vender to make it available. (I never read your thread before)

For those customers who like to post negative price comment, they should read your thread and they will appreciate how much labor they can save.

apsisusa

The material is composite + resin. It is the same material as what we use to make our carbon replacement parts. Excellent quality.

Yes, you can paint them. The surface is very smooth and ready to paint. Your body shop will like it because they don't have to do prep.

We don't post prices to our web on purpose. We are manufacturer and wholesale is our main business. CF Forum is the only place that we communicate with car owners direct. We have to balance between getting out our products info vs protecting our wholesale customers.

If you want to get the price, please PM, send email to apsususa@aol.com or call us at 1-800-6827747.

Hi Guys,

We just post some pictures for our C6 Splash Guards Short Version in the C6 section. We highly recommend you go check it out.

apsisusa

Other than the Black Raw Kit, we also offer real carbon kit. There are three different carbon colors you can choose--- Black, Silver & Titanium.

We also offer pre-paint service. But we would prefer customer to paint by themselves. We subcontract our body shop to paint for us. This service is for the customers who don't have access to good body shop.

The Carbon Wheel is our products. We can laminate carbon for any wheel you have.

We made that set of Carbon Wheel for our display vehicle in Corvette at Carlsile and we got excellent responses. We are glad you do like it.

Our idea is you can see chrome wheels all over the places but you never see the real carbon wheel before. This is the "industry first" approach.

How about a special if you buy the front and rear sets at the same time? Question on the painting.would it be possible to have just the body side painted and leave the wheel side in the black? Thanks

apsisusa

Sorry we cannot do better price. We have tooling cost to offset.

Regarding to paint the rear side only, you better talk to your body shop. Technically it can be done. All they have to do is to cover the front side while they do the painting.

c5BlackBeauty

Count me in for a pair of the fronts for my C5.

JAMESNORTHPROV

want a pair also

USA - #1

Can anyone who has additional pictures of these installed please post them?

Anything - painted/unpainted and on any color car. The more, the beeter for anyone who is considering installing these items. My car is Machine Silver, so I would like to see raw or painted black and painted silver.
