600Z Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 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.

TOO60Z Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 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. 600Z 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
