Splash Guards

[Bolling]

Anyone put splash guards on their car to to protect paint? If so where did you purchase and are there any pictures?

No such thing! I used Dr. Colorchip repair followed by 3M defender spray on film. 3M film acts like a clear coat and hides minor difference between the paint and Dr. Colorchip repair work. If I can do this with a black car, can be done with any other color.
Since then, I had some insurance paid paint repair so I went ahead and re-sprayed both rockers followed by 3m Clear Bra. It was not that difficult. Now I can drive without cringing whenever I hear pebbles spun up by the tires.
Dr. colorchip and spray on defender work should be done at 75 plus temperature. 3M clear bra film should be applied at 50 plus degree space per instruction but I prefer 65 or warmer.

I have these on the front and rear. Not even noticeable and could not think of driving without them.

I think my last set I got from Corvette America. I'm 1.5 miles of dirt before I get to the asphalt. These are a must for me.

Thanks for the replies

Just something else to consider, but I have "helicopter tape" on all the susceptible areas of a different sports car I own. Helicopter tape is like industrial grade Scotch tape, but it is made to protect the paint on cars, especially behind the wheels. I think it was originally intended to protect the leading edge of rotor blades on helicopters, hence the name. It comes in different thicknesses, and often it is custom cut and "pre-curved". If you apply it with a heat source you can obtain great results as a DIY project. Be patient with it. Not a huge fan of mud flaps. You can find the tape on ebay.

My Z has never needed splash guards.
She'd have to be driven in the rain and that has never happened.
I'm pretty sure the wiper blades are original.
Never needed, never used.
