Rear wing impact marks

CalgaryZL1 · 08-02-2023, 04:29 PM

Every time I go to wash my car I have several of these impact marks it’s almost like a grain of dirt explodes when it hits the rear spoiler, I have a lot of really good back roads with no traffic and I am able to get up to very high speeds When no one is around (also 4:00am

) usually when I get back there are several of these impact marks, just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this on their rear spoiler? I also have rock guards installed Front and back.

Looks like the guts of bugs bouncing off the spoiler. Not a direct hit like the front bumper. I get similar marks on the hood and front edge of the roof on my ZL1 this time of year.

It’s not bugs. It’s actually pulverized dirt it wipes off like dust

I get those marks regularly throughout the week, since I DD my car and commute mainly on the the highway.

Does that clean up easily?
With rock guards, if youre referencing the ACS or ZL1 addons stuff, those aren;t long enough, extend downward enough, to really protect your car. I use the universal sheet plastic type and my car stays clean that way, no road rash down the side, nothing. But you have to be handy with tools and such as it's a "custom" installation. People tend to like instructions and a full solution like that and with this you have to be creative.
