Two diff. shots can be seen here: http://www.i-m-racing.com/sotopsebokit.html

I like these alot; very much like stock G35c rear splash gaurds and how the Z's should have been done to begin with. Don't know if they can be ordered separately or not.

$356 + shipping. They are either made from FRP or plain fiberglass. However, the quality was some of the best I've seen. They fit really well and looked excellent.

I've got a C-West replica bumper and its junk after about 3 months. The Top Secret Guards still looked brand new after a year and half.

They use one of the factory bolts on the bottom and then you have to drill two in the wheel well and two near the exhaust. None are too cosmetically damaging if you ever take them off.

IMO the factory mud guards look like crap but those there are functional and look sweet.

This place is about the only one I've found so far.

At first they looked real nice to me from the back pics of the car and they do.

For me, I would need to see a few pics taken directly from the side of the car before I would say to myself I want those. By the looks of it, they look like they might hang down and curve around the arch of the wheel too much and might end up looking too much like an actual mudguard to me.

$345 seems a little high for what they are, plus shipping and paint. Nah I just talked myself out of that mod.

I'd personally rather have leather Katskins with that money.

My thoughts exactly...this is what the should have looked like in the FIRST place! And you're right...they're more like the G35C.

Here's another two pix of zillinois' car, and another member's car:

Is there a way to mold those mudguards into the rear bumper so that no lines show? If so this is a very nice looking mod to do.
