What size Spacers for zl1 addons rock guards
Installed the guards. Fronts are fine. On the rears I used the short spacers for top 2 holes and longer one in bottom like instructed. But when I tighten the screws down it sucks the top of the guard around the fender and angles it into the wheel well. To get the guards top to stay flush with fender I would need a spacer quite a bit longer. I can make something work but did anyone else run into this issue?

IIRC I put the thicker spacer on the top to make mine work correctly.....

I had to cut a few of the largest spacers to the length of the middle-sized spacers (sorry I cannot remember the size of all of the spacers, it's been awhile since I've done it). My issues was that pretty much every hole on the rear guards required the middle size, with the exception of the top hole. From what I was told it seems that every car has a slight difference in requirements for the rear, that's why they supplied multiple large spacers (at least in my kit).

Thanks guys. Gonna swap long bottom spacer to the top and see if it helps. If not I'm gonna have to source an acceptable spacer material and make my own.

Swapped bigger spacer to top and shorter to bottom. Much better. Left me with this. I'll still probably make a custom longer top spacer but for now it's good.

For the price it's great. The spacers and screws for install are a bit of an afterthought. But the guards themselves are what looks right. I'm not a fan of big bulky moulded pieces. So thin flat flexible guards are perfect for me. |

As I'm reading these comments I'm curious if using a heat gun to soften them up before screwing them down tight will help mold them to a better fit?
Or maybe a thin (1/8") strip of foam weather stripping to keep the plastic off the paint? It just seems weird to have to space them off of the wheel well to get them to look good...

For any that are wondering about quality, I have no problems with this product. I have a dirt driveway and if you look at the inside of mine (instead of down the side of my car!) there are all kinds of rock marks and dips from them coming off of the wheels. However all of the noticeable dirt/rock marks disappear easily with a wet cloth. They do their job well and are very inconspicuous while doing it. |
