Splash Guards

[Sofa King]

I found these OEM Dark Horse rock guard.
Price looks reasonable, but I'm not 100% sure if this is the right thing. A ybody can confirm it's for the rear?

Those look like the ones in front of the rear tire... The ones you had linked in another thread were the proper ones.

*edit* actually post #20 in this thread...

Thanks. Ask any questions you want.
They mount in under 5 mins. The existing wheel well has four plastic clip retainers. You remove these plastic clip retainers off, you put on the rock guard over the holes as they lineup and re-insert the plastic retainers and you’re done. Any issues you let me know. Thx.

You can buy them here.

These are the ones to get! So much more protection than ZL1. I made the switch.

They use the same picture as Extreme Online Store

Or they are the same, or they don't have their own pictures and use other company picture.

Have you bought them?

Have you bought them?

Yes, I bought the EOS one and I can pick them up in 2 days.

Well I picked them up but they screw up my order.

I received 2 gloss and 2 matt parts while I orderd matt.

I can't even send them back since I don't live in the US and I already had to pay 30 usd for forward shipping companies to get it to my island.

No quality control. If this was a Chinese product so many people would have said "well, that's what you get when ordering Chinese".

But now it's just a mistake lol.

those won’t stop rock chips at all. Just decorative.

Why?

 

[sososavy]

Why?

They are not wide enough nor deep enough. They may look cool but if the whole point is stopping rocks then it may be a waste of money. The ones I use are more simple and cheaper but stop all rocks.

They stick out way more than enough to block rocks from the wheel to the rear side panel.
Would be strange if they don't block anything when they stick out more than without them.

They literally stick out more than the width of the tire. And the width of the tire doesn't even stick out of the fender. I don't have any wheel spacers or anything where the tires stick out.

So a rock has to travel in a curve to still hit the side panel.

I had to look up where this comment came from and now I understand. You are selling rock guards as well.

hey. If yours work then great.But there are thousands of dark horse and GT owners with wider tires that report getting lots of rock chips even when they use other guards.

Just get a guard that is wider than your tire and it will work.

But just telling me it doesn't work while all stock GT's have tires that don't stick out more than the fender. So a splash guard like this is sticking out from the fender which makes the guard functional.

It's just not looking good for you as a seller of different rock guards to bash on other products without substantiation. It would look better if you also explained why they don't work, how it works, how it's tested to find that out etc.

But only giving a negative comment about a product without substantiation while you are selling counter parts gives me the feeling that you just want to bash on other businesses to make yours look better. Trust me, it works the other way around.

Communication and explanation is the way to go.
Bashing without substantiation looks like jealousy.
