I know I have seen rock guards or "mud flaps" for the gen IV and I think in carbon fiber.
Anyone know who supplies them?

The gaurds look ok but there is one problem with them. They will not completely protect the rocker panels as they cant wrap under. The rockers are made out of aluminum so they chip very easily... and the bottom of them get tore up very quickly. The only way to completely protect them is to install paint protection film on them. They can cover the entire rocker panel all the way under to the bolt pattern... offering maximum protection.
For the life of me I don't get why someone would opt for those over a clear bra install that's virtually invisible.

Maybe for the life of you, you can now understand a different point of you other than your own.
Carbon Fiber is like crack to some people, they lose all reason.
This is coming from the guy who was just looking for a clear bra installer a couple of months ago????
No splash guard is "virtually invisible" and they do not protect the underside of the rocker panel. For you guys with the spalsh guards on reach up under the rockers and feel how bad they are chewed up. Being under the edge I guess it would be "virtually invisible" to some... but still there.
I just realized that you are the guy that SELLS AND INSTALLS CLEAR BRA. I inquired with you about installing it on my car, and I asked around about your installation talent. I was warned off of using your service by three owners here in the area that had a bad experience with your product and/or your services. That is why you did not get my business. I used Invisibra in Carrollton and had a great experience.
Apparently you don't know what "ignorance" means nor do you have a clue about "conflict of interest," because you are not doing your business any good service by attacking a "competing" product. If you learn anything from this post, please learn to stand on your own two feet when it comes to selling your product. I have no respect for business owners that attack the competition rather than selling their own on its merits. I have been a small business owner for 14 years and speak from experience on these points.
I have flaps and clear bra. There is stuff thrown at the underside by tires that a clear bra will not protect but carbon fiber will stop in its tracks
Understand your dismay your assuming I'm rational which is your first mistake!For the life of me I don't get why someone would opt for those over a clear bra install that's virtually invisible.
This is good useable info, bringing us a little bit back on track. I have clear-bra coated front, sills, and "strike zones" behind the wheels... and when I'm picking up rubber during a track day I get these smudges that are difficult to remove without isopropanol or similar solvent. Which I worry will start to affect the clarity and/or adhesion of the plastic coating. Those same rubber smudges come off the paint easily... but jeez, they're nearly indelible on the clear bra material.
So I bought the CF rock guards. I think they look great; and the fronts fit. I'm having a tough time with the rear pieces, though... difficult to get flush to the body; I don't see how it's possible on my car without drilling new holes. Imperfect fit. I may try using a compressible "gasket" in the area that gaps slightly away from the body panel.
We have had straight-on installs, and several reports of some rears being more difficult to install than the 5-minute fronts. If you watched "ULTIMATE FACTORIES" on CAAP, you saw Craftspersons leaning on and bending those rear quarters/fender liners. Body panel Fit varies.....the plastic panels bend and bow slightly, to mate with the fender-well screw holes. Their patience, slight manipulations, and yours will get those rears to fit.
