Inner guard protection


600Z

Recommended Posts

Today I got a star in my paint on the top of my front left guard which looks like it's from a rock from the tyre. 

What have or does anyone use to prevent this from happening. Obviously newer cars have plastic inner guards which prevent this from happening. 

Cheers, Justin

You could look at applying a "bed liner" type product - I used the "Lizard Skin" brand which comes as an acoustic or thermal type product primarily for the underside of the car body but would help in minimising issues from stone impacts on the guards.

Go to a wrecker and source some plastic inners from a car that suits the dimensions of the z and trim/fit them in with clips, rivets, cable ties as required. You just have to get inventive with them and you really only need a strip to protect the vulnerable area you mentioned.

This may also be an option as it appears carbuilders may no longer supply Lizardskin https://www.carbuilders.com.au/bully-rubber-liner-paint-colours

I'm not sure how people feel about "sticking" something to their inner panels however maybe an adhesive heatshield type product would also help (the heavy duty one) https://www.carbuilders.com.au/peel-stick-heat-shield~845

I like the idea of sticking something like that to the inner guard as it's easier to replace when and if needed.
