They are barely noticeable on your car and look really good. I do wish jfranks could give a pic however because he does have a white car and that's what I have.

I have a silver car! Looks the same as Twhite's. Barely noticeable at all. They're $100USD, just do it and save yourself from a few rock chips.

Not really a fan of these. They look too much like the poor-boy fender flares (3/32" aluminum sheet) I riveted onto the fender lips of my first Bugeye racecar to meet the SCCA regs prohibiting exposed tread at the top of the wheel arch. The perfect solution for me would be a molded lip similar to that which appears on the rear fenders of the F-Type.

That would be ideal to me also. Do you have any idea where to get those because I haven't seen them anywhere?

I'm sorry but your car looks white in the picture you posted. I still would like to see a full side picture of a light color before purchasing though.

Just FYSA, I ordered CF mud guards from The Carbon Guards (TCG), I just yesterday had to make a dispute on my credit card to get my money back because TCG hasent shipped my order. I gave TCG 3 chances to give me a update why my order hasent shipped yet, but TCG never got back to me a update. TCG hasent even read my recent request for a status update, and hasent contacted me since starting the dispute. I can understand if TCG is having personal problems at home causing a delay, but as a business TCG needs to follow their promised shipping schedule or contact customers with a good reason why the promised shipping date can't be met and a updated ship date .

Here's my conversation with TCG

Funny you say that...I ordered mine on 4th Jan and am yet to receive them...

I've contacted him several times but there's always an excuse (when I eventually get a response).

I would definitely try to dispute the charge if I was you. If he supposedly only needs 2 days lead time and it's been 30+days and no shipment, that's unacceptable

Oh no! That's a shame. When I ordered mine they arrived almost immediately.

I posted this to a Facebook F-Type forum just now (Johnny Perez, the guy behind Carbon Guards, had posted there previously), received an immediate response, see for yourself:

I ordered mine on January 4th. Never got them. They sent me a UPS tracking number that never worked. I phoned 4 times. I was told the order was completed but it was left on a shelf by a mistake. Then I was told they were
short an employee. Then I was told John would ship them himself the next day. Then when I requested a refund,he told me it would take a week. When that never happened I called visa 3 days ago and they gave me a refund. Sadly,I
wouldn't trust this guy as far as I could throw him.

This is almost Verbatim what happened to me. I was giving him 30 days before I filed with Visa. That's pretty much up now. Wish he had gotten his $hit together. I was looking forward to mine.

Dang it! Good thing I saw page two, I was all ready to send... Thanks for the heads up guys.
There is a fb forum? Uh-oh... I'm already a crack(book) addict. Between this & that I may never leave the computer... In fact, sorry to be posting so much now! Must get off the computer now...

This forum is the still the go-to place, but you get a few pics and a bit of chatter on the FB group (including some 18 year old with Daddy's old V6 who reckons you can get 550bhp with no more than a remap and few other tweaks...most amusing, although he went quiet when asked for the dyno results to be posted).

If you are searching for mud flaps search this forum for "splash guards". There are several different choices mentioned.
