i do have clearbra along the side of the rockers though as my front tires kickup. im going to be re-doing that later this spring.

Hmmm I wonder if I get side skirts that stick out a tad bit more (like the stillen ones) will it help prevent the kickup of rocks.

If I don't I think the side of the rockers will have to be done because I always hear rocks being kicked up

if you're running stock front wheel offset you should be fine, but once you start running ET35 or less it will kick up and start hitting along the side and bottom area of the quarter panel arch (door side).

luckily for me i put the strip of clearbra on the rocker before changing offset so i can peel it off and remove the impact scratches and stains. :D

sounds good. i just used a clearbra roll but you can get the actual pre-cut kit from autopaintguard.com they offer both splashguard and non-splashguard versions. but price is like 190.

i *think* this is the one i used. i remember it was 4" wide but can't remember the roll's length.

I admired her as I walked through the garage until I got to the back, where I see all these little tiny finger prints. I wonder how those got there.

Dude, that's non-JDM!:rofl2:

@ $48 bucks, that's cheap enough to screw up the install and not feel bad about it! This is good stuff, I'm going to have to check it out. I'm about to go w/ spacers and new Stillen side skirts.
