Vette(s): 1978 Silver Anniversary Coupe Lt. Biege w/ Dark Brown Int. Happily owned since 1981.

Hi all,

Tired of the standard rectangle fender protectors that keep sliding around, or worse slide off and fall to the floor. Are there any available that have the contours of the C3 body (fender). I can't seem to locate any or I'm just not looking in the right places.🤦‍♂️

Thanks,

Kenny78

Vette(s): 1972 conv, 4-speed, 350, 200hp, numbers match, rally wheels, war bonnett yellow w/white top. good condition, nice driver.

Possibly! I have a couple generic mats that I got at Carlisle. They are a clingy type of material. Not Sticky, no residue. Kinda like the kitchen cupboard type liner. Thicker, and non oil absorbent.

Always wanted to get one like that, but just couldn't justify the price...YIKES! I also have a set of the "grippy" kind Mark mentioned. They do not fall off, even if they get all the way to the edge of the fender. I think I got mine at a swap meet years ago, new, for around $40 each.
