Splash guard fit

Does anyone know if any of the Pro Fit Molded Mud Flaps Splash Guards fit the 2014 camaro? It fits all the other 2014 muscle cars but not listed on the camaro anywhere

No these will not fit. There is a variety types you can get if you don't have factory ground effects.

Those are all more than Id like to spend. I like how the ones I linked looked. Why do they fit every other car but not camaros?

G5 Camaro's use 2 torx screw fittings in the front to install guards and Uclips or 2 sided tape, those guards are not designed to be installed that way.

If you like the look of those RPI has similar one's at around $50.

I didn't put guards on for "looks", I put them on to stop the chipping process. I used the $39 one's on Ebay and they have worked great for 4 months I've had them. No new chips.

There is a DIY in the forum for this if you have the tools, that would be the least expensive route.

This was the only info I found on these guards. There are a lot of mixed reviews on them, many people state they aren't rubber, or molded as in the pictures.

http://www.jcwhitney.com/2010-2014-c...&filterid=g211

I didn't use this brand myself, but based on the reviews I wouldn't.

They also don't appear to have the amount of coverage the "stealth" guards have.

If you want to modify the one's you posted, you could try measuring and drilling holes. I have not done this so it may or may not work. I kind of doubt it would or the MFG would say drill holes at points x and y for 2014 Camaro.
Again I used the $39 dollar ones' on Ebay, no drilling as they are pre-drilled, fit perfect, easy install, no more rock chips.

I'm not crazy about the "looks" of the stealth guards I have, but they look way better than the rock chips did.

Did the $39 only come with front though?

Yes front only, I had no chipping problems caused by rear tires so I didn't want rears.

The thing is, are you putting these on for "looks", or for preventative maintenance?

The guards I have don't really add an appealing look IMHO. But they do an excellent job of protecting my doors and "gill" areas.

For "looks" IMHO the factory color matching ones are more appealing but are more expensive.

Since your possibly repainting your car, a paint protection film is another option. Though much more expensive.
