F%@kin Rocks!

06CivEXJon · 07-02-2006, 12:02 AM

Ok well there is alot of road work and construction going on, close to where i live. I know i gotta be more careful around gravel and especially gravel trucks, because that shit (the rocks) goes everywhere, and well tonight i was cleaning my car,went under my car and i started lightly tapping the rear bumper, and a ton of rocks just dumped out! I have no idea how the hell they all got in there/jammed, but i put in a cool few minutes trying to get the rocks/gravel out and i did have alot of success. Now i need to just get the left overs, that are jammed inside the screws that are holding up the bumper out. Would splash guards deflect the rocks? I dont have them because i think spash guards would look silly. Lets see your imputs and see if you had the same thing occur as i did.

If you have a rock nest in your rear bumper cover I would hate to see what the front one and hood look like.

We'll this is why i get splash gaurds. I think non molded ones look tacky. but these look good. but if u dont want them. then deal with rocks in your bumper. Just think, These rocks came when u were driving slow. Think about rocks getting kicked up at 70mph. How much damage that would do or even 55mph. I'll take 1 gash on your car to change your mind. Just my .02.

I checked the front, and its fine, no rocks in the front just the rear bumper. How much is splash guards? are they easy to install?

Bought mine from Bernardi Parts. Came to a little under $70 shipped.

Here's a link to the installation instructions. Seems pretty simple to me.
