Default ZR1 315's are mounted...rocks are flying...need splash guard

My 315 GS-D3's are are mounted and look great. Now I am concerned that they are going to sling debris, and sandblast my paint. Does anyone make a low-key splash guard for a T/A? I found this for a C6, but nothing for a F-bod.

3M makes a clear product called the clear bra. I have it installed on the front of my car. Look for a local dealer and they can cut to fit where ever you want it.

I am starting to see alot more of this product. I detail alot of high end cars and more of them have the clear bra on them. They have it on the front, mirrors and the rocker panels. I'm don't have any info on the product, but it does work.

there is also a spray on stuff, that I have seen used at the tracks, great for removal of rubber, I do not know have much it would protect against rock though.

yeah my friends dad own's the only ferrari dealership in MI, and they put a LOT of that 3M clear bra stuff on tons of cars! it's a pretty penny to get your car done with it, but if you only get a few small sheets of it to throw on your rear bumper where it get's blasted...it shouldn't be much.

i too work at a detail shop, and a lot of high end cars come in with that on. i think it would be a much better idea than mudd flaps

You can get a Yosemite Sam mud flap "Back Off!" and it will look good on 4x4 F-Bods
