New Frame Savers
Just want to say thanks to Manny aka Nasty98 for the new style of rocker savers. These fancy plastic ones are easy to mount and work well. It did not take but a couple of hours to test them. I love the look of lowered vettes but they do like to bottom out. My mechanic said it was an easy mount and all the screws and part were packaged well. If I did not have another brand on my Vert (have been on for years) I would buy another set. I would recommend them to anyone to protect their car.
Thanks again Manny the Nasty98,

I installed a set of Elite aluminum frame savers and i am very pleased with them. Easy installation and they offer a lot of protection. Chuck

It is cool that EE has them in "both flavors", but the ploymer set is the way to go... light, no paint, and leave the shipping slots open for pucks, etc.

I was one of the lucky ones to jump on the first batch of the rocker savers... tested one last night on a speed bump. Hit it HARD on the pass. side rocker. Took a nice chunk out of the rocker saver, but no damage to the rocker itself. It would have been ugly otherwise.
Hey Nasty98, remember when I suggested the frame savers in your original thread?!? I would be glad to be the first to test them out for you!

maybe i missed it, but is there a link where i can get these fabulous front frame savers and rocker panel savers? my front two metal frame bars (under the front bumper) are scraped up, so i'd like to not damage them any more. I haven't hit anything hard with them, but it seems the previous owner didnt anticipate a curb or speed bump very well. also the "rocker savers" would be nice too.

I apologize for taking so long to get back... I was cruising around out in the ocean (with the navy) and didn't have internet access. There is a chunk missing (that is the technical term of course) but overall it held up very very well and I don't see any need to replace it. I appreciate the excellent support and standing behind your product!
