ultimately, i reconsidered because i already have side diffusers and front lip splitter/protector and a rear diffuser, so i have quite a few add-ons already. think the car would be too busy w/these too. look good on your ride though, Mike.
Thanks. Yeah I got them more for the rock protection. Seller was very easy to deal with. I messaged him with questions prior to purchasing.

On a sidenote Bama Dave has a group buy going on at s2kca.com for a good price (fronts only), I ordered a couple pairs. Bama Dave is also a member here. Nice deal. Here's the link:

Wow those are nice. He doesn't have the holes pre drilled though for the mounting screws. But it's a great alternative.
As for the rear, it probably sits like it doesn't cover enough because of the way I angled it. I can fix that gap by changing the angle it sits.

After you said that comment about it not going inwards enough, I had to adjust it cus it bothered me lol.
Here is the before/after.

hmm these are kind of cool. These should be pretty easy to make cheaply by purchasing a sheet of carbon off ebay. Maybe i'll give it a try..

I think they will last. The part facing the tires have an undercoating type material on it and the carbon exposed side is clear coated. They are pretty thick too.

Share the outcome! If I were to make it I would def make it wider for better coverage.

yeah it bothers me how they aren't wide enough. If i make some, i'd make it in an "L" shape so it has coverage all the way to the inside of the bumper.
