Default Cleartastic Alternative?

I have a greenwood kit on my 87 and have noticed that the part of the kit that sits below the front bumper gets a lot of dings. I have just recently had the entire car repainted and want to avoid the dings. Cleartastic says they do not make anything for the front of a vette, let alone a greenwood kit, only behind the tires and such. Looking for ideas to protect my new paint. No bras.
:cheers:

Get lots of wax on it and don't follow too close? I know, people will pass and pull right in front of you. :mad Why not pickup up a couple of Cleartastic kits and cut them to pieces that will fit the spoiler? It sounds like a pain, but it's all I can think of. Maybe Greenwood could strike a deal with Cleartastic?

:)

I was looking into getting some "cleartastic" type material to make my own pieces last summer but never got around to it. This is what I did find out. 3M does make this stuff. You should be able to order it fom an autparts store. If I remember correctly it came in large roll that would have provided me with enough material to do about 20 cars. The cost was about $25-$50 per roll. I'll search around for the 3M part # when I get home.

I was thinking of that, but I guess I need to find the dimensions of the different kits first.

I'd like to know, also. Beats repainting.

Did you find the part number? Is this the same stuff that Cleartastic markets?
