is there anyone making a clean looking, not so obvious/obstrusive but functional formed plastic fender /mud guard for the gen 5 ?

cutting a exising piece and putting it on …just doesn't look good…looks like home made….
CF piece for that area is an overkill IMO at least…
protective takes help with fender but not the area behind, where stone/rocks hit….

has anyone tried buying existing piece where the out edges fit well and you just had to cut the inside to fit into the screw mounts of the car ? at least the shown edges will be 'clean'….

also, i'm thinking of spraying the wheel well plastics with those spray cans of black tar stuff…. to keep the noise of the rock/stones hitting the wheel well when on the road…. it would keep it to a thud, instead of a pop pop pop…..

any idea on above ?

Clear bra the rockers, for starters. also.. bumper, hood, mirrors, door handles & behind rear tires.. Clear-Pro Elite is awesome!

I have talked to both sources of the previous side sill protector that were on the forum and neither have plans to make them as of right now. This is an aftermarket item that is a "must have" on any Viper if you want to protect the wheel well side sills.

Total car wrap is an interesting idea...now, if only I could figure a way to put wheels and a drivetrain on my car capsule... :)

well, i got a generic mudflap and just plain 1/4" rubber sheets...gonna try making a template and make one myself and try to smooth out the edges so that it's not too 'home made looking'...

i will try put a clear cover around the painted part of the fenderwell but there is no better protection than having a barrier that will keep stones from hitting the panel so...

If you put mud guards on that car I vote to kick you off this site!!!! Just 3m the areas that you want and it will be fine. I track my 14 quite often at limerock and the 3m material holds up far beyond my expectations.

lol... ok... it does/can make the car a bit less attractive....
i ll just put those blue painter's tape when i'm going tracking... they come off easily w/o residue...

i may still experiment with the blanks i got... see what ya all think...

No comparing real guards to 3M...There is clearly a market for them.
