What is this thing called? Some kind of rock guard?
I saw this picture from C2Scho recently. What is this thing (translucent material) called? Some kind of rock guard? Do they work? Where can you find them (couldn't find them on Corvette Central or Zip)? Thanks in advance.
they work fairly well. pargon use to sell them. but stopped a long time ago. someone on here was making them and was selling a pattern so you could make your own.

Someone was selling them on Ebay a couple of years ago. Search for stone guard, rock guard, mud deflector, etc. If you want the red neck version, search for Mud Flap, that's what I call them.
Pattern PDF is attached. Lexan would be the material of choice but you could use some other acrylic. Lexan is tough stuff and will take the hits better.

Here is the homemade version of polycarbonate plastic painted on the back side to approximate the color of the car. I didn't use a pattern, just made a template out of cardboard to fit how I wanted them to work. YEA, I know the car is screaming WASH ME!!! These have been on the car for ~ 12K miles
Here's our '65.
I put thin foam weatherstripping between the Lexan and body.
Pinch the clip "handle to remove it if you don't want them to show in the wheel well.
I just got some mud flaps from Oriely's & cut them how I wanted them. I also used the black binder clips, but I lost 2 of my mud flaps on one drive down the interstate. I went to 3 clips on each one, but have been back on the interstate to know if they will hold this time.
