Splash guards?

Has anyone put splash guards on their car? I will have to frequently drive a short distance on a gravel road and was thinking splash guards might be a good idea. My wife is not keen to the idea. I tried to explain that they weren't going to be big gawdy ones but anyway. Can someone post up some pics of your fancy camaro with splash guards? Where did you get them and what does it take to install?
Thanks!

Those were the ones I found on a google search. Did you do the premium (extra thick) or the standard ones? I was going to order weather tech floor liners from them as well.

+1 on RPI. They do wonders on this gravel driveway and country back roads. The front ones look great, but I did do a little extra securing with double sided tape to make them look a little cleaner. However, spend the extra money and go for the zl1 rears. I tried the cheap rear ones and they just didn't do it for me. They had excellent service and helped get me straightened out with the product I wanted.

I got the thicker ones. As samgray20 said I thought they would hold up better, in which they are.

WOW! I saw this thread and did a search. I found a set of these on Amazon for only only $70! I pulled the trigger immediately. What a snag, doing my happy dance.

I have the ZL1 fronts only as shown above. Very happy with them. Minimalist design that's barely noticeable and definitely prevent rocks from flying down the side of the car. Don't believe the rear ones are necessary in my opinion. Very easy to install as well.

x2, I'm running the RPI fronts with ZL1 rears on my car as well.





Can barely even notice them on the car from a distance:
