Default Splash guards for 2008 GXP ??

I'm new to this section of ls1tech as I just bought an '08 GXP with 23k for $15k ! We love the car so far but I was wanting to add the GM splash guards such as we have on our '06 3.8 liter car but it doesn't seem that GM makes them ?? Are there any other good option besides the "flat with contour" generic mudflaps GM sells ? The ones on our '06 GP are nice contoured splash guards look like they came with the car instead of something that was screwed on later .... help ??

I'm pretty sure they make them but they are expensive, Do a search. I have seen pics of our cars with them on. I think they are $40 pair.

I think those are the non-vehicle specific flat with contour type. GM sells contoured flaps for the regular GPs that are nicer. We have them on our '06.. go figure. Maybe the GXP sales volume wasn't high enough to justify the tooling?

Default get 2 sets of the rear ones

It's on my to-do list -- apparently the rears is what you have to get for front and back, see this cgp post w. pics about molded GM splash guards...

Wow, I never thought to check whether the could do that ! I see there is confusion though on the part number for the rear versus front flaps ? To be safe I'll unscrew the old ones from our '06 and test it out and report back. Good info
