Hey guys has anyone used the RPI designs stealth splash guards? I have the GM splash guards and want to switch them out for something less noticible. Do they protect as much as the GM guards?

I bought them and havent installed them yet.

I just dont think they are goin gto fit on my car with the factory GFX package even tho they claim it does

I have them. They work as intended. You barely notice them. I like them.

I have them on mine, should have been my first purchase. Gills are chipped to hell

before installing them.

I would like to know this too especially when I'm getting the factory gfx

Here they are installed on my car. As far as I know they provide the same coverage without standing out as much as the OEM ones. I don't believe the OEM splash guards are compatible with the GFX kit.

ZL1 splash guards all the way. They work and actually are less noticeable then the RPI ones.

I have the RPI splash guards in the front and ZL1 splash guards in the rear. The mounting of the RPI rear guards is junk, that's why I went to the ZL1 rear guards. When installing the RPI's in the front, discard the metal clip they send and use double sided tape ( I used 3M ) to secure the upper part of the splash guard to the fender.

Was there any drilling involved with the ZL1 splash guards ?
