I use to think ZL1, but the rear mounting points go on with adhesive. I’d go for RokBlokz, they’re known for rally flaps and they all attach with screws.

The ZL1 guards are not good, at least for this application. The rears fit so bad I never installed them. The fronts installed in a logical way and looked OEM but unfortunately the adhesive that holds them on failed when it got hot here in AZ. The adhesive stuck on my fender and pulled away from the guard.

Agreed. Rear ZL1's don't really work if your car is lowered. Anytime your wheels rub (going up steep slopes, big speed bumps, etc), it knocks the adhesive loose from the wheel well and half of it hangs off. I've had to re-tape mine at least 4 or 5 times. I haven't had any issues with the fronts though. Will be switching to RokBlokz in the future.

I love my zl1 addons mudflaps/ Stone guards. Zero issues with mine over a few years and about 18k miles.

I have front and rear deluxe ZL1 rock guards (deluxe are thicker) installed May 2017. Car is a DD and they're still firmly attached.

Pros: They look factory. Customer service was good. They do the job, I hear rocks/road debris pinging off them all the time.

Cons: A bit pricey if you ask me but there aren't many options. Front deluxe guards are thick and are not pre-shaped. Use a heat gun to soften guard, shape to curve of fender then dunk in cold water.

Funny enough my rears have not moved (ZL1 deluxe). I've just had multiple problems with the fronts coming off. And one cracked in the snow.

Rokblox coming soon.
