I used the black ones from Mid America. They seem to blend in with the tires better. Did have to do some drilling however.
By the way, speedbumps are a problem. Have had to replace one front because of it.

Yes they are stock parts. Gene Culley or Bob at Fichtner will do a better deal for you.
The guards are about $50 each and the fasteners a few $ more.
The Apsis guards are really nice and will fit without any of the shaping but I guess the extra $$ may decide whether you go that way or modify stock guards.

Same here... I hit a road hazard and the front drivers-side ripped-off the car and cracked the inner (hidden) part of the fender it was attached to. I just use them on the back and they look fine.

I had a Forum member respond to this thread, and told me about these guards, http://lewisfivemotorsports.com/products.html He said he was a a meet and found them, and he purchased them, They come in two ways, Carbon fiber or smooth glass, In the pictures, they should not have a problem with the front guards hitting low spots, but still give good protection. I think these will be the guards that I will with, smooth glass so I can paint them. Thanks to Jim Stewart,Miami, OK
