TooCool5 · 08-31-2011, 09:38 PM

IMO they should retire the guy who designed these.

Not saying that I would get them myself, but if they are actually painted the exact color of your Camaro, then I think they would blend in pretty decently and not look half so bad at the same time. They are a pretty cheap alternative to more expensive splash guards and costly paint jobs in the future.....

I have had bouth. The body moulded guards witch I loved and the smaller ones I now use because I have gfx no. Fellow c5 member Wayne gave me the regular stile and you barely notice them.

I have a Summit White 2011 SS/RS with IOM stripes and accents. I am getting a set of quarter flares (mud guards) installed next week and I went with IOM since they don't make them in SW. I actually like the different colored ones on the white cars, it breaks it up. You can put them on the car to see what they will look like without installing them, the back ones will slip on and use a little painters tape to hold the front ones on and you'll be able to get an idea of what the car will look like.

Mud flaps, 1/4 flares, molded guards or what ever you want to call them look terrible on the camaro. That ones that are painted are by far the worst. Why not put curb feelers on while your at it. Give me the stone chips any day over these eyesores.

Only in youre opinion, which seems to be the minority in reading this thread. But you are entitled to it none the less

On since day one. I think they look good.

Splash guards, FTW! I love mine:

rarebird · 09-01-2011, 10:39 AM

have them on mine and would have had it any other way... having a gravel driveway is flirting with disaster... they have held up great

I wasn't to high on them at 1st either . But after so many rock chips and road tar slung down the side of the car I decieded to give them a try . Best thing I did to save the sides ! Even looks fine with my lowered stance. Plus I installed some 3M clear vinyl on the front side to protect the paint . Works Great !

There is always these !
