While I have seen some amazingly well done spats people have created, from my past experience they all collect road grime and over time scratch the paint. My Porsche had a nose bra with a felt like backing and it damaged the paint under it. Never got wet, and only used on questionable and long road trips. Another guy I knew always left his on, rain or shine, and it totally destroyed the paint under it and where it moved from the wind (slight flapping) it went down to the metal. Like open trailering a car with a car cover on it in some ways, not the best for the paint. But I do like the look… the black or clear 3M material to me appears to be the best solution, but removal of the film can be difficult if not installed properly.
Both these photos have extremely well done spats I might add…..

Rockbit… those shoulder harness mounting points look to be quite low. Especially if your shoulders extend above the back of the seat backs. Could result in serious spinal injuries if ever called into emergency use…
