Looking at rear splash guard

[Evox787]

I was looking at just rear splash guard. I found a style on AliExpress, but they are carbon. I am looking for something on the plastic side. I already went to ZL1 addon, Rockblocks, Megachips, and FX3d designs. Before they are recommended, they aren’t the same style that I’m looking for. They are too noticeable. If someone does them on a 3D printer or something, that can possibly point me to them. I will gladly look into them.

Don't have a 3d printer, but I do have the megachippies and I think they're incredibly hard to notice, the front ones especially.

i don’t think aesthetically, that the length of a rear rock/mud/splash guard will break the build. With that said, I’d gladly welcome your new perspective and find myself interested to see what you come up with.

My question to you, why not just purchase them and then DIY a plastic version?

off topic: PPF is underrated and undervalued, my next car wether it be Porsche/BMW/Face-lifted FL5 will get PPF’d before it’s driven by me.

I don’t buy them and make a plastic version because I don’t know what to use or how to start, but it is something I can look into and make it possible maybe. Also, my opinion is that PPF is snake oil in the long run because you’re putting a huge decal over the car and all the risk involved with that. That way is for people that buy a car and don’t use it and is in a garage store for most of their life, and is willing to pay 8k or more to have it removed and replaced every couple of years. I know that someone will say that the technology of the wrap isn’t the same or whatever, but the principle stays the same, and to me, it is people trying to rationalize with a bad decision like people shoving electric cars into everything. That’s why they keep adding more battery power to F1 cars the pinnacle of motorsports when all they are gone to be doing now is lifting and coasting but I went off topic already sorry if you like or have a electric/hybrid car.

Necessity is the mother of all inventions! Again, I'm interested to see what you come up with.

as for electric cars, I don't particularly care for them. Being a part of a newcomer launch team, I did enjoy a year of tinkering with them. Their technology, which of course needed tweaks, is far beyond the norm and that makes it exciting to me.

Let’s see what I can do. Probably, I’m the type of guy that in the 1900s said things like, “ Cars we’re not going to replace horses.” And look where we are now .

Thanks to @NeRO_CTR, I decided to take on this project. So far, the only material I have is a set of universal Amazon performance tuning mud guards and a box from getting the groceries today at Sam’s Club to do the template. I have some sanding blocks and stuff lying around to make it round on the corners and all that, but let’s see if I will be taking pictures and posting it on here in case somebody else wants to do it. I will be reusing the OEM hardware, not the ones in the picture. Also the link attached in case I forget to add something of the parts.

I took on the project today. It wasn’t that bad. The tools I used:
Small angled screwdriver
Jack
Straight tin snip
Scissors
Black marker
Sanding sponge 220 grit (it was a leftover for a wall repair that I did )
Digital caliper
Drill with 11/64 drill bit
Cardboard
Also from the Amazon listing, I ended up using just one of the
The measurements for the cardboard cutout that I used in inches:
0.7 ( also here the first hole for the screw)
0.8
1.1 ( second hole for screw)
1.3
1.4 ( third hole for the screw)
1.5
This is the measurement I took for the OEM wheel and tire combo. I will be installing 19x9.5+50 on 265/30/19 all season Continental. I don’t know how much will change from this, but I have room for adjustments.
Thank you @ NeRO_CTR hope this can give clarity if someone wants something similar it took me probably 2 hours at the most from start to finish.
