Default GOOD LOOKING splash gaurds?

With a 285 tire on the rear I would really like to get some nice molded splash gaurds on the back for sure but the factory ones are ugly as hell! Any one know of or have a set of decent looking rears?

No such thing that I could find. I had clear bra applied behind the wheel wells of my G8 instead.

Yeah that's not a bad idea either. I was hoping there would be something out there like the little flares behind the wheel opening on the Z06 but I can't seem to find anything. Even a better looking splash gaurd than the factory one would be fine.

TriShield, are they even on that site? Looked all over on there and can't find any. If you found them, please post the direct link. Thanks.

The g8 has perfect wheel wells, don't mess them up with splash guards. Just wash your car when needed. The splash guards will not totally protect your ride anyway. Good luck on your decision.

i wash my car on almost a daily basis, just wanted something in the rear to protect the paint from stone chips and stuf but I think i'll put on that clear bra stuff instead now.

I will say that this paintjob gets chipped WAY too easily.

They should have put the Holden emblem somewhere visible and made it a different color...

Those are the same thing as the factory Pontiac ones. Not what I'm looking for. My car is silver and I've even seen them body color on a silver car and still ugly I think. Wanted something that doesn't look so out of place with the body lines. The fronts look ok but all I want is the back and I hate how those look.
