InsanezeD Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I'm getting stone chip wear on the front inside end (in the wheel arch) of my sideskirts and rear spats, it's starting to look really bad as much of the paint has just been chipped away, I'm going to have a can mixed up at my local paint shop suppliers, prep, mask them up and blow them in. Got me wondering, is there such a 'screw on' guard that I can buy to stop this from happening again which it inevitably will? Has anyone else had this problem and dealt with it, I'd be interested in your solutions if any? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 There are these which I was going to get and have not got around to yet. http://www.jdmperformance.co.uk/item_de ... odID=58277 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 what about some 3M film like paintshield use. The Z has some already fitted at the bottom front edge of the rear wheel arch on standard cars http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/3M-4-X84 ... veQ5fTools Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 There are these which I was going to get and have not got around to yet. http://www.jdmperformance.co.uk/item_de ... odID=58277 That won't fit a car with Nismo skirts. I'd get onto ebay and find some paintshied or similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InsanezeD Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 Yeah Renagade they won't fit the nismo skirts, also that end isn't the problem area, it's the front edge of the skirts and the front edge of the spats, those spash guards go to the rear of the skirt. M13KYF you're onto something there fellar thanks for the tip, so what I'm going to do is prep, mask and blow them in, then apply some clear protective film when the paint goes off, also turns out that a local auto graphics shop stocks it Next weekend is a four day one (woohoo), so I'll get the gear this week and do it then.

IanS16 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 My Azure has come off on the lead edge of the sideskirt too. I'm just going to get some skateboard style griptape as its pretty sturdy and matte black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsanezeD Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 I thought of using griptape but I reckon that'll look tatty and worn after a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 And all the skater dudes will get confused and start trying to put their airwalks on the end of the sideskirts...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsanezeD Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 I still wear Airwalks to this day, I might cut the soles off and screw them to the leading edge of the skirts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I got abuse last time I shouted 'Get a car' at a 35 year old skateboarder with 'cool' facial hair and long shorts. Skating down the road in one of the main streets in Aberdeen city. I thought I was justified. There is just no need for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
