Has anyone installed the GM splash guards? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I'm considering adding the GM splash guards to my car. I saw some pics and they don't look too bad. Does anyone know how difficult they are to install? I assume that its 3-4 screws for each one.

Also if they are removed later, are the holes visible? TIA

It took me about 20 minutes in the driveway. Didn't have to remove the wheels either. Just need a drill for one hole on each, in the plastic if memory serves correctly.

Thanks. I found the installation instruction in another thread, too. I think I'm going to get these for my black 2SS. I've already noticed some paint chips after 3 weeks...

I also installed in driveway and wasnot very dificult.
I did remove the tires for more room though you could do
the job with the tires on.great look and help keep the
sides pritty clean.the backs are very easy one screw to
drill that's it.the fronts seamed a littel more involved mabe
just more lineing up.well wourth the $ and time enybody
should be aible to instal.

Yep real easy to install you do not have to drill that hole for each if you do not want to. I did mine in about 20 minutes as well on my Black 2010.

i installed mine back in november 09...real easy to do and quick..

but my tape is starting to peel off the car and leaving a little gap opening...my question is would i be able to remove it from the car without the tape damaging the paint? and what tape would i use to replace the old tape that came on the gaurds?

When you do it, use a hair dryer and just peel it slowly. It should come off like butter once you heat it up. Just get some heavy duty double sided 3M and you'll be good to go.
