Or what ever they are called. My aftermarket hard plastic ones broke, well one did. What did the factory ones look like? And, who carries them?

Mud Guards?? on frt./ rr. of rocker panels ? Is that what you are referencing? No such thing from factory.

Yeah, mud flaps. There were none on the car from the factory? Sounds bad for my paint job.

Some custom after markets ones are made for the C4 that fit the body curves, but don't think they are for the ZR-1 bodies.

The ones I have fit fine. Didn't know the car didn't come with any. -Steve

if you have to deal with a dirt road like I do you will find rock chips on the bottom panels.

I run 1.5 miles of dirt before I hit asphalt. I'll keep them on. Thanks for all the input.

Have gravel, will have chips. .. with or without guards (trust me).

Got Mud Flaps on the 91' ZR1 but not on the 90' L98. They do protect the panels from small rocks if you drive on gravel or pick up gravel :cheers:

This is close as I got.....but could take a shot tomorrow straight from the side. Keep in mind this is a 90' L98.

That's fine, thanks. I've been thinking of redoing my rims on my 90 and I'm not sure what I should do with them. I like the looks of that. Thanks. And, the flaps on the 91 look like ones I had on mine, and what I will replace them with. -Steve
