GM stealth splash guards
Has anyone tried the new 2014 guards on a 2010-13, or even on a 14. From what i can find the rears are the same as the ZL1 (which look great) but i have never seen the fronts before until now (actually from GM).
I believe nothing changed on the front fender wells in 2014, so they should work Hit the link to see what i mean...there are lots on ebay too http://www.shopchevyparts.com/exteri...-92281230.html |

I would be curious if these fit. I have a set now but always find small pebbles in between the front guard and the car. Based on pic, there looks to be an indentation. This may help elimate the pebble buildup problem. Anyone have these installed?

The rears do not appear to be ZL1 splash guards as the ones in the picture go much further up the wheel well opening, basically to the part line between the steel quarter panel and the rear bumper/fascia.
I'd b interested in these if they are really genuine GM parts. I did not see a GM part number in the ad. Ed M.

Bubba is right, its genuine GM as in the link. Who wants to be a guinea pig? or has a friend with a 14?

I am looking for something like this but dang... I am assuming back wheels will have to come off which means I will not be able to do it myself.

I got them for my '14 - the rears are the same as the 2014 ZL1 splash guards. The fronts are designed to fit the '14, and they fit fine, but I found that my the aftermarket front splash guards I already had provide more protection so I didn't install the GM front splash guards.

I like how they look, but, they are more like accent pieces than splash guards.

The ZL1 rear guards do extend lower for more protection, as do most of the aftermarket fronts. Again, these look better, though.

My mistake. They are different for 2013 and earlier.

I wonder if they both have essentially the same footprint (same protection), after you account for the '14 ZL1 rear diffuser hanging down lower (I also have the '14 ZL1 rear diffuser on mine). The ZL1 diffuser wraps around the sides and meets up nicely with the splash guards, but maybe makes them look smaller. If we find a picture of a '14 with the ZL1 splash guards and without the ZL1 diffuser it might look closer to the '13. Not sure.
