    Call Jon B. There are several threads at the old club site on the subject. I LOVE mine! CF and contoured to the body. They look like they could be a factory piece.

    Could not agree with purplesnake more. Love mine. Keep a ton of stuff off the side of your car.

    Here is the link to my review that I did a few years ago on these. Lots of pics. Write up at the bottom.

    Depends whether you want carbon fiber or not. Jon B or Dan at Viper specialty. Can't go wrong with either.

    I have the carbon ones as well from JonB. Great and barely noticeable once you stop fixating on them. Just wish they were extended a bit more to add coverage below the body but they are great for the sides.

    I have the guards from JonB. I cut my own 3M clear bra strips and placed them on the rockers behind the guards. I also cut little strips and put them underneath the guards so they don't rub on the paint.





    I also made little ABS extensions that hang down. You can't really see them and the clear bra, guards and ABS extensions really cut down on the crap thrown up on the rockers.



    The rears didn't fit perfect. I had to open up the holes in the guards with a step bit. There is a small gap between the guard and the body, I give the rears a C+/B- fit. A local had the same fitment/gap on the rears of his. I also put clear bra underneath and behind the guards on the bumper.



    When its all said and done, IMO they look fine on my car. Blend in with the ACR package and wheels. It's worth it to me to help prevent chipping up the paint.

    Thanks guys....especially ACRu for all the pics.

    Even though its not the greatest addition its more of a necessary evil.

    Those were my thoughts. Even though it's a 1 of 1 car (like the orange one you just bought) I would still like to enjoy driving it

    I think they would blend in with your graphite stripes and ACR splitter.

    I have a 09 graphite ACR w/ Jon's stone guards and they do blend into the car very good.

    I think you are right...as well as they appear to be made, it wont look like an afterthought.

    I am calling JonB. to get a set

    We had to make 6 molds to do Gen 3-4 cars. The sales have just barely recovered our cost of the 6 molds !

    Despite this we are looking for a mule in SoCal near East LA / Pomona area.....

    They are worth every penny. I have front and rear from Dan at Viper Speciality and love them. My car is a black Vert and they blend in well and appear to be a bit smaller/sleeker then the photos above..though not CF looking.
