Default Confession - I live on a dirt road...

I really don't care about repainting costs... but shoud I put on guards that prevent rocks from dinging my car?

I'm not cheap...! Should I just repaint when I need to?

I think it's up to you. I don't remember ever coming across any guards for the S(if you're talking about splash-type guards).

I have a few dings on my hood - mostly from " spirited" driving... with other s2000 drivers! I have seen the 3M clear bras. They look really bad when you take a hit.

I have actually beeen hit in the head by rocks... but I digress.

I have seen some "mud flaps" on a few threads. May have to go that route.

Maybe some "naked women"... OK, maybe not!

I do too, but I've never put on any type of protection for rocks.

It's about a half mile till I get to pavement and I drive 5mph. The only problem I've seen is the car gets dusty faster. Zaino seems to help this a lot by repelling it.

Can you drive slow until you hit pavement?

I was just in Denver, and drove to the Mtns, I noticed alot of dirt roads. I seen a post here where someone used splash guards from Autozone, I think it was. They looked alot like the ones used on civics and accords, and were cheap, might want to look at those.

Theres not many dirtroads around here, although some are bad enough they should be dirt.
