Default Rock chip protection

Okay, first of all I understand that some people might not like this idea. I respect that, but there's no need to post about it here.

On to the main point - I've seen Miatas and 350Zs equipped with little rock/splash guards behind each wheel. I think they look really good and give those cars a more muscular appearance. My S2000 also tends to get a ton of paint chips from debris kicked up by the wheels - especially when I'm on stick r-compounds. So I'm curious how they would look on our cars. Can sombody Photoshop some in? I haven't found a picture of a Miata equipped thusly, but here's a picture of the 350Z version from the Nissan website.



Thanks!

ps - and no, this is NOT what I'm talking about!

A long while back somebody posted some pics of universal fit splash guards that seemed to work well with the body lines of our cars....let me see if I can find the link....

You can also get clear bra protection for rocker panels and behind the rear tire. Invinca-Shield has precut pieces for these areas that are fairly simple to apply.
