I received my Aftershock Magnetic Chip Guards in the mail yesterday and installed them on my car. I have a Mysterious GXP, and the chip guards come with a shiny black vinyl finish. They are of great quality and were cut with precision. They fit perfectly on both sides. If you are standing ten or more feet away in the sun, you can not even tell they are on there. I showed my friend yesterday and he was like, "what chip guards". I showed him up close and he was like, "wow, those are really a good idea." I recommend them to anyone who does not like the mud flap look and wants to prevent and cover up and chips down in front of the rear wheels. They are $49 for the pair and well worth every penny. They install with ease...you just have to make sure to clean all dirt and debree from the area before you apply them on. They can be removed by simply pulling them off, but remain strongly attached via magnetism when on. It is recommended that they be removed for car washes. I will post some pictures later if I get a chance. Besides preventing chips, they cover up the ones that you already have!! You can see in the pictures what it has already prevented from chipping the paint.

Spiky3480,

I am having problems with the ones i received. The part that folds under the car will not stay magnetically adhered to the car and because of that I can't drive with them on. Kinda defeats the purpose. Rudy at aftershock told me to try and trim them and then see what happens but I am not up for having to cut them up. He has been good about responding and offering advice but I am not having the experience you had. Glad to hear you like yours

If you clean it really well...maybe even clay that area, you might have better luck...that's what I did. You have to also keep pressing it from the middle out and get all of the air bubbles out...that helped it tremendously.

hey Heat Mizer...

If you want, I can send you another set to see how they will work on your vehicle if you can't get your current ones on. Just let me know and I'll get another set to you ASAP. Thanks.

I have a question about this product staying put at HIGH speeds. I'm always on the interstate doing 75mph to 90 mph, are they going to stay on at these speeds? I don't want to spend 50 bucks on Monday and the guards are gone by Wed. Please reply fellow forum members. Thanks

They will stay on...I drove at 100mph and they stuck on.
