I bought the ACS splash guards. Not cheap, but damn good quality. I found their customer service is REALLY IMPRESSIVE. I had a few questions regarding my install, and ACS is quick to respond, multiple times. Definitely worth it to me! If ACS is listening, don't lose your fantastic customer service.

The ZR1 is better in every way but it should be, it's a higher performance car. With that said, the C8 is not very far behind and that speaks volumes due to the fact that it's the base model. The C8 Z06 and C8 ZR1 are going to be insane performing cars!

It's not that I didn't like it. It's a great option for customizability but it's fiberglass meaning it's more likely to break or chip than the more plastic material ACS is using. The lip gets pretty beat up on the C8 so this is a bigger deal than you may think.
