Fiberglass version So I decided to make my own. out of some plexi-glass material I have. It seems to work. Here are some pics of it. The smooth side faces the air filter. While the rough side faces the ground. And here it is when mounted. Anyway, I only made it for the front, but I'm making the other one as well. Call it tacky but it seems to work and it's better to drive around with it rather than not have one at all. But now that I'm sanding my car, I never knew how much work was involved in prepping a car for a paint job. I'm doing most of the prepping myself and I hate it.
