As this car is my daily driver I am all about keeping in the best shape as possible. That is the reason I opt'd for splash guards. I didn't even check with the dealer as I am sure the cost would be insane. I found some on eBay for $48 and free shipping from Hong Kong. All I can say is they fit perfectly as they match the body lines and the holes line up.

Tools
1) Small flat blade screw driver
2) Small phillips screw driver
3) 9/32 socket
4) #15 torx bit
5) powerdrill to install a self tapping screw
How To
Pretty basic stuff here. Start by removing the front wheel. Next with small flate blade screw driver release the plastic rivets and remove them.

Next get the rivets started in the splash guard... they are a real tight fit. Once started you can install the guard on to the car and push the base portion of the rivet back into the mounting hole and the push the rest of the rivet in to hold it tight. Lastly use your power drill to install the supplied screw on the upper part of the splash guard. Be careful to not over tighten as you just have plastic as a backing. Use the phillps screw driver to tighten.

Reinstall the wheel and torque the lugs nuts to 100 ft lbs. NOTE - GM uses el-cheapo chrome covered lig nuts.
Now we go to the rear and remove the wheel. But, GM has surprise in store for you. It seems the engineer that did the front inner fenders didn't do the rear. There are 2 # 15 Torxs screws that need to be removed and a 9/32 machine screw. Hummm common sense must be at a premium in the engineering department.:yup:

I installed the machine screw first. Next I installed the 2 fender well screws and tighten them down. Again don't get crazy as they will strip out in a heart beat.

Remount the wheel and torque the lug nuts to 100 ft lbs. Now repeat the process for the other side.
Final Look...
