Default Splash guards

Can anyone help in locating splash guards for a 2005 Crossfire roadster? Many thanks.

Are you talking splash guards that fit in the wheel well, or ones that fit just behind the wheels?
If it's the latter - forget it, been brought up before.

3m vinyl behind the wheels will protect the paint...the same stuff people have installed on the front bumper and headlights. It is also good to cover the rockers as well.

...just a thought.

Thanks to all. Looks like the 3M vinyl is the way to go.

Glad to help! I took mine to an UltraShield intaller in Chesapeake, VA.
They did a great job.
Here is the link to the National website, since you are in MI.

You can buy the 3M vinyl online and do it yourself too...flat areas don't seem to be too hard, but the complex curves look like they get a bit tricky for the do-it yourselfer.

Good luck either way.

Cheers,

~ agreed...

the best idea is to use a clear 3M film (bulk piece) and cover the entire rockers and add pieces behind the wheels... this is what i did and it eliminates any chips from forming on the effected areas.

doesn't help with mud... but watch for those puddles and stay on the road.


here are some pics of the applying stage to my 330i... (i did the same to the crossfire as well)...
