IMO, Mud Flaps (splash guards) need to be black so they “disappear”. Color-matched versions draws your eye to them, making them stick out too much.

I’m a huge orange fan, on my 2nd orange Corvette, but imo your car needs some contrast. Not really digging the mud flaps either.

Not a fan of those splash guards because they look like mud flaps.

Looks good if you're goal is to have little-to-no contrast, though I think it would look way better if you left some parts CFM.

If you like it, that's all that matters.
To me? Needs the carbon flash rear and side vents, standard black splash guards and the carbon flash wing but, with the CFM wing, leave the AO endcaps and CFM badges. Its...too much orange. And the base wheels are the most unattractive wheel on this car, in any color GM offers.

The wing actually looks real good in a solid color, the mud flaps not so much. The paint on the wing is spot on the flaps look a little darker but it can be the photo. I can't wait for my AO to come in, congrats!

This pretty much sums it up for me. Way too much orange and I like the orange color.

Are those factory splash guards? They look a little bigger than what I remember.

OMG, I haven't seen the orange dude in a long time!
I'm going back and forth about body color splash guards. My car has hypersonic gray car has carbon flash parts so I'm thinking the carbon flash will go along with the "theme".

Looks good except the splash guards look a bit large and do not flow with the lines of the exterior at all.
