great job
Appreciate it!
So are these GM parts or aftermarket? Great vid!
These were OEM parts. Supposed to be installed by the museum but parts were not shipped in time so they just sent them to me. I could’ve taken it to the dealer but figured I’d give it a shot since it was easy parts lol. I did eventually replace the front lip and wing with aftermarket ones.
Do you recall is the rivets on the rocker panel extensions were aluminum split rivets or nylon rivets?
Also, we’re the holes in the rocker extensions bigger than the rivets?
They were definitely plastic if I remember correctly. I can't remember the holes though. I never used them and they're still on the car years later with just the 3M tape they came with.
Could you just use tape on the bottom too? Instead of drilling?
I personally never did drill or use the tabs on the rocker panels and never had any issues. The 3M tape is very strong and runs the entire length of the rockers, it sticks very well as long as you clean it properly.
Thanks I'm going to do that as well. I just don't want to drill holes in the body.
Very informative. Thanks
Thanks for watching and glad it helped a bit.
How long did it take for rocker gaurds and mud flaps? My dealership is installing mine now.
It wasn't super hard to do either. It took me about 2 hours to do everything, including filming which makes it longer. The Rocker panels go on with 3M strips, and a few screws/taps. The Rock guards snap into place where the old ones go, also with a few screws. I'd say without filming about 1 hour to do it all.
@@DeeperImageAutomotive Did you add your front splitter yourself? Good video.
I plan on picking up my c8 going home and install guards mesh grill protection for grill inlets spray on ceramics by myself and order a great front end bra for travel and get my own engine cover my view!
Awesome Walt and congratulations!! You’re going to love this car so much.
@@DeeperImageAutomotive trying do it the best way possible
@@DeeperImageAutomotive Ps al info is needed
PRO TIP - When installing 3M tape stuff like rocker extensions, wet the area with a baby soap and water mix, peel the tape and slide it on. The water will evaporate, then the tape will grap.
I did the splash guard mod yesterday using GM parts. Yes, turning the front wheels L/R makes the install a lot easier. The extra tab is on the GM part as well.
They look great, glad to hear you got them done. Cheers!
Beautiful absolutely beautiful I can’t wait to get mines rapid blue is the best
Splash Master03 you’ll love it. Rapid Blue is awesome indeed. Enjoy and thanks for watching.
Agreed I have the rapid blue, head turner.
Pulled in to a car show the other day, like a model going down runway camera phones everywhere.
Good video & bonus points for gloves almost matching the rapid blue 😊😊😊 She looks beautiful.
Raymond Chandler haha 😂. Thanks for watching.
Looks great. I ordered both and hoping my 21 comes with them ready
Very nice, congratulations! I decided to install mine. Normally the dealer or museum will do it, but they were delayed in the delivery due to parts availability.
It would be cool in carbon flash
Agreed, this finish looks too cheap.
I got these both and the front splitter...but In Painted Carbon Flash Metallic. That rough plastic looks cheap IMO. The painted versions are super sexy.
Yeah I’ve replaced them now with carbon flash. When I preordered at launch it didn’t really show you very well how they look in person.
Good video. Helped in my decision to get the mudguards (ordered the side skirts in black from factory). The flared rear fender fronts will otherwise take a beating, me thinks.
Thanks!
Adrian - I really love the mudguards and glad I added them as well. They look modern and so easy to install that this will add a little more protection from the millions of rocks and pebbles it kicks up with the Michelin Pilots 4S from factory. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your new Corvette!
STI Rocker Panel Extensions are $595 option.
Seems like a very expensive item for all that is there unless you’re thinking it’s preventative damage control.
Splash Guards VQK are $255, but seem more practical for stones, mud, tar and the occasional line painting/strips put down by the DOT. (Ever try to get that stuff off the side of a car?)
What’s the thinking about these options?
Do they work?
Are they worth about $1,000?
Should I get them on my 2022 C8 order?
Thanks
I was pretty happy with my OEM ones and with my aftermarket wheels that stick out more than the oem wheels, they do a great job protecting the sides which was my main goal. I don’t think you need $600 ones.
I gotta know, what heads are sitting against the wall?
edit: Fuuny enough, I just installed rock guards for the Scatty... a MUST have!
AFOL Garage All left over Viper parts from the first build lol 😂 😭
Are these different than SPLASH guards?
If you didn't opt for these, they come with just little caps that offer no protection for the paint. These extend out enough to cover the width of the front tires to help prevent or reduce rocks from hitting the side of the car. These are indeed the splash guard option from Chevy.
I opted for splash guards so just wondering if there was an additional product out there with more coverage.
How are the splash guards and rocker panel extensions working out? Seems like a great idea!
I’m really glad I got the splash guards and rocker panels. Helps protects the paint from rock chips because the tires pick up a lot of rocks. The rocker panels add protection to and I like the contrasting look.
On the side rocker extensions, how much further do they stick out from the body rockers?
Jim not much at all. They are literally a cap over the stock rocker. These are about 1/4" thick maybe?
Thank You, but Dude, clean up and organize that garage .....
That’s my next big project for sure. It is a huge mess.
