Splash Guards?

Where can I get low profile splash guards for a 70 CS? I've looked in all the usual places.

They come up for sale every now and then in the parts for sale classifieds on here. There are some on EBAY.

How are you actually defining "Low Profile"??? Obviously you are referring to the total length relative to how far they extend below the quarter... From what I see on the market, most all splash guards will extend at least 2 to 4 inches... You most likely will have to check some actual dimensions at some of your local retailers, and may need to modify the overall length...

I do have a couple of the small chrome ones, I will pull them out as soon as I can and check the overall length and post a photo...

Thanks John - Im looking for black and prefer them to disappear against the tires. Theyre more for keeping the rockers clean than the look. Appreciate it though...

Here's a comparison of the stainless steel ones versus the more popular plastic splash guards... You can see the major difference in size... If you want black as you mentioned in your previous post, you may be able to modify a plastic guard to the size of the stainless steel... I have a set of black Cimarron (Cadillac) that would make a good candidate for modification...
