OK I know I am not using the right words to describe what I am looking for but none of the shops sell anything that can be mounted on a 1980 fender. Have any of you experimented with anything? I know about the "nip-chips" stuff but when I got that it the mail I just thought they really looked tacky. So while we are still rebuilding I was hoping someone had a "tasteful" solution. Thanks all!

I hear you Ken, they sort of have a built in mud flap. But I'm not sure if anything would really look right unless it was glassed in?

I know last year on the way to the Watkins Glen wine tour outing I was crusin along the back country roads and went by a farm. Well you can guess, hardly anything on the road but what a site when I pulled in to gas up. So here I'am wiping cow shat off, that was slung down both sides of my white vette. I know that all those farm folks at the gas station was laughin at me LOL

That is why I can not watch a football game......when they huddle I know they are talkin bout me LOL

If you do find a solution let us know for sure. Evil Smile

There is some no chip stuff that is completely clear, and removeable. It is almost impossible to see when in place. Perhaps some of our members can remember the name of the stuff or where to get it.
