Default C2 Stone guard clips

I have the plexiglass guards to protect from stone chips but I can't find the clips can anyone help? I've seen some people use the binder clips but I'm not sure if they would hold on the highway. My original flaps had silver clips to hold them on.
Any help would be appreciated.

I use several of the small binder clips. Painted them body color. Haven't had any issues with them falling off

Does PPF help in those areas behind the rear wheels?

Hi Pat,

I have extra clips (9) that you can have if you still would like to use that method. I use small screws for mine. My guards are always installed and I painted them black so they are less noticeable. PM me your mailing address and I will mail them to you.

Having the rear guards installed has been very beneficial in protecting the bob tail paint. I have thousands of miles on mine and there is no noticeable chips back there. The front ones do keep the crap off of the sides.

Safe travels and good health to all,
