Cobra Drifter How about Carbon Fiber ones (GT and GT500)? Here are mine -> http://www.trucarbon.net/Trucarbon_M...10024-lg52.htm



These in Carbon Fiber would look totaly sick on GT's or any ride - blends with window quarter louvers and saleenish style hood and side air extractors.... sounds like you might need work somethng out with the manufacturer though as the the guards are patented. NO problem with flexible materical - could be done - problem for sure for hard material.

Do you have an approximate post number in that thread, or some rough estimate like "halfway, 2/3, 1/4"? There are 652 total as I type this.

My reason for asking is because not everybody has their pages breaking between the same posts - I only have 17 pages in that entire thread (40 posts per page).

Last month with the 18" GT wheels/tires, I wouldn't have been interested. But now I've got the GT500 wheels and slightly wider tires on and I think I'll be wanting to provide a little bit of paint protection. The new tires seem to pick up and toss a lot more pebbles . . . and they sit a little further out.

Fits exactly like OEM but a little wider flap. Reuse the same two screws and holes that hold the OEM ones on. Protect very well especially needed for wider tires/wheels. Top notch part!

With my 285's out back, I need to get some type of flap and those CF ones are a nice option!

I have them and LOVE THEM!!!!!!! Excellent fitment! No modification required
They look great, and do not stick out too far but work great with wider tires! No more splash marks after just washing it HIGHLY recommended!






Ignore the splash marks in the pics, installed before washing the car.
Install is easy! Socket wrench with a Phillips head attachment and that's it.
