ACS Enhanced Front Mud Flaps for C7 Corvette ZR1, Z06, Grand Sport, and Stingray | Part Number 45-4-063
The Problem
We found the GM accesory splash guards to be too small and ineffective at protecting the Corvette's paint from rock chip damage. It is even worse when your Corvette is fitted with Side Skirts as the front leading edge of the rocker will get eroded over time from road surface debris. See image below.
Notice how the mudguard is does not reach the bottom of the side skirt. Nor will it sufficiently protect your Rear Brake Scoop on a Grand Sport, Z06, or ZR1.
The culprit behind the issue are the performance tires mounted on the Corvette's wheels. They are incredibly sticky at temperature and will collect any and all road surface debris including gravel and stone chips. As you drive, the debris will release from the tires and b-line it towards your Corvette's paint causing serious paint chip damages. We've designed our own series of rock guards, splash guards, & mud flaps to combat this issue and keep your Corvette protected.
Our Solution
The ACS Enhanced Front Mud Flaps are 15mm longer and 30% wider than the GM splash guards; thus, offering enhanced protection to your side rockers and the side of the car. In particular, for the ZR1, Z06, & Grand Sport, we designed our mud flaps to curve which offers more protection to the rear brake scoop. In combination with a set of side rockers, paint damage and chipping can be reduced.
Compatibility
Will fit on all C7 Corvettes (2014-2019) ZR1, Z06, Grand Sport, Stingray, Stingray Z51.
The ACS Enhanced Front Mud Flaps are injected in an ABS black plastic texture, which has been meticulously designed to match the rear GM mudguards, which means that, if customers already have them, then they need only to upgrade the fronts!
Rapid Installation
The ACS Enhanced Guards install using the three (3) screws that currently hold your wheel liner in place. Simply remove the 3 screws, place the guards over the liner, bolt in place. No drilling or modifications needed. Install can be completed in under 30 minutes. Check out our install video:
Elegant Design
Our enhanced mud flaps are beautifully styled to match the sleek contoured design of the C7. We take OEM data from the Corvette, and engineer our guards from the ground up to ensure that the guards you receive are not just a universal guard, but a mudflap that is tailor made for the C7 Corvette.
The injected black ABS components not only match GM rear guards, but also look the business! However, if you wish for a different surface finish such as Carbon Flash, then those are available.

The Conclusion
Whether you are a Z06 or Stingray owner you will be delighted with the wider enhanced protection of the rear brake cooling scoop, door and undercarriage of your car.

New Feature
A newly developed unique bladed shield on the edge of the rock guard stops any debris from directly entering the wheel well. A small detail that could save a big headache.
