Tire Air Deflectors

Powerwiz · 01-18-2015, 04:58 PM

I have had these in my trunk since I bought my Z last month. Had no idea what they were for until I saw a Z with them on. Anyone else got these on there ride?

Most people do, some peoples' come off.

I removed mine, they keep scraping on the dips.

I have them on my car and they scrape all the time. I know I will have to remove them once the car is lowered.

Seems like once you get new wheels that are flush, there isn't much left to deflect from the tire.
I think I'll go ahead and take mine off and stop the scraping sounds since it's the consensus here.
