Splash guards
Anyone with experience with the Zip splash guards? Installed pics would be appreciated, as Zip does not have any on their site, and I wonder what they look like on the car. I need something to protech the cars side panels. My tires are slinging road tar. Thanks

they are stupid simple to install. Ed shipped them right away, and they've done an excellent job so far.
I did apply some 3M clear material b/t the flaps and the painted surface just to be safe.

I know we are all fans of Pipedreams products, but I am curious why no one considered the guards from Zip. They are painted, conform more to the car then the flat guards from Pipedreams. The only drawback is the price, but I think they would look nicer. Anyone get them? Anyone have a picture?

I put these on my car as well and they literally disappear from the side and behind and it is amazing how clean the rear of the car stays.Not a chip so far either.The reason everone uses them as they work so well and the price is definitely right!

Ed's are great they do the job and blend right into the wheel well and are totally inconspicuous.

Now, this is an example of one of the biggest problems with this board. You guys always wind up costing me money!!!! I just ordered a set of Pipedream's stupid splash guards because of this thread. Why do you keep doing this to me?
