i've read about how the rocks kicking rocks up and damaging the paint and all but was wonder if something like this would help..."CARBON SIDE PROTECTOR" (first picture). and so mud flaps. as for the pedal problem what about "ALUMINUM FOOTREST" (second picture)....i got these pictures from www.japanparts.com what do you guys think? just my 2cents

 

^^^

If that helps, I rather get that than mud flaps...

 

God their prices are terrible! What a rip off!

 

That pedal doesn't fit the USDM car. Someone on here bought it and it doesn't work. As for the carbon spats, those would protect the paint, but I could also see them getting pretty chipped up too.

 

The pics of the "side protectors" are too damn small. A close-up and/or a description would be helpful.

On a side note, I wonder when RallyArmor will have the Evo X mud flaps.

 

The side protectors themselves are too small, the chips don't just hit the corner of the skirt, they also hit closer to the front and up on the doors a little.

 

On my Exige there is something like this but clear called starshield, it is like big clear stickers precut that go all over different areas of the car. Helps tremendously from what I have seen of cars without it. You could probably buy some in bulk and cut it to what shape you want. Make sure it is thick enough though or the rocks will penetrate thru it and then it is even more noticeable then.

 

Archie just got them on his ride, so he has much larger pics to check them out. I was hoping to beat him to the punch, but there is no stopping that guy, lol. I will probably wait awhile now.

 

There are pre-cut kits available for the Evo X.

As for the side protector: it doesn't cover enough surface area. The rock chips are on the edge where door and body meet above where the protector ends. Also, the doors suffer from rock chips too.

Pedal problem? Didn't know there was a pedal problem.... However, you can get an aluminium footrest that does fit from SP Racing.

 

wow, I hate to say it but might have to resort to some kind of special mud flaps to stop the rocks from getting thrown up .
