Rock/Fender Guards
Hey guys....question for ya. New here and looking for advice. I tried a search and came up with nothing, so hopefully this isn't an old question.
Anyone have any good experience with rock guards? Mine is beginning to show road rash on the rear fenders. I've seen the clear one's and black one's available, but don't know how those would do on a silver car. I loved the look of Jay Leno's chrome one's on his blue Cobra from the super bowl commercial.
Any thoughts?

If you don't have any road rash yet, several company's have clear, in general terms, "spats". Like danc30 said, do a search.
I made leather spats for mine with 3M adhesive tape.
Cover the ENTIRE car. 
If you need further help, send me a PM.

Anyone know where to get a pair of stainless spats? Seems I remember a thread about them but it sort of fizzled.

Hi,
I know these threads are old. I haven't had much like in finding these anywhere. Anyone know the best place to locate these fender SPATS?

I was not happy with the ones you can buy, so I just made them out of leather and my wife sewed the edges. I lightly glued them on so I can replace them someday. Low cost and easy.

I ordered a 2'x5' sheet of carbon fiber look sheeting off of ebay for $17. Measured it out and put them on with the help of a heat gun. Fairly easy and look good. Had to trim a bit due to stretch using the heat gun.

Kinda hard to see. Put it on top of the doors, also.

I know some folks have used Plasti Dip, but my fenders have a few chips that I think will show through Plasti Dip, so I'm looking for something that's perhaps a bit thicker, with a bit more hiding power. Anybody use undercoating spray or liquid? Something like this: Kleen-Flo | Products - Tumbler Paintable Rubberized Undercoating

You can always use body filler in the small holes, sand and apply what you want.

I've posted this before.
I used to manufacture clear bras and have plenty of old stock. I'm not interested in doing a 3M front bra, but anyone in the Atlanta area can get spats or other small areas done here for the price of gas and some beer to drink while WE do it. What I won't do is let you drop off the car for me to work on, that costs $$. This is for clear only. I don't do the CF. You can use my wheel if you want to give aluminum ones a try.
