Anyone clear-bra rear quarter panel/door?

Anyone clear bra the rear quarter panel part of the their car or the rear door part? I'm looking into doing this instead of getting mud flaps, just not sure which part the rock hits the most on the rear.

You can logically figure that out. I'm also sure that they have pre-cut films that you can use, or base off your custom cut off of.

This is my guesstimate. Looking at it after driving on a wet dirt road, I would say this is about the area that actually gets hit. But yeah, you can get pre-cut films that should cover alot more than that dinky stock piece. Im going to get it done this summer.

That is exactly the area that gets hits by rocks, even with large (e.g., Rally Armor) flaps. Some Evo Xs come from the factory with a small protective piece on the lower-rear corner of the rear doors, but it's not large enough and not much better than bare paint. That clear paint used on helicopter rotors might be the way to go. Only other option I can think of is full-fledged rally flaps, but most people won't like them.

I had clear bra put on this area immediately when I got my X. The graphic Sephiron posted is exactly what you want to cover. No rock chips for me!

I have exactly that area 3m-d that Siphiron mentioned. They actually had an evo kit pre cut for that. It fits beautifully over the skirt. I might have to go take a pic for you

This site has some, I think the splash guards is what were looking for maybe? I think they would need to be contacted to confirm.

Also, I feel like the spray 3M stuff is a lot like plastidip. I did this before winter and I have a feeling this is the reason it needs to be redone once a year.

I bought mines from this place. I believe it cost like 60 bucks. It covers the rear door and a little bit of the rear quarter panel. It doesn't cover the side skirt at all. If you know how to install a screen protector on your phone it's the same thing.
