air cooled 911s - inner wheel well protection
KGL has been spending some time lately with harbor freight detail brushes - de-gunking stuff - old T-shirts - other various brushes and cleaning implements > just to clean up the tail light components of my 80 SC.
I swear - when I first pulled it/tail light out of the body panel - there was 1/8 in of dirt/road debris caked all over it. Which gives me thought > why don't we have inner wheel well plastic gizmos that prevent the dirt from getting into our vital inner stuff?? which is why I ask the question?? Does anyone in the USA >> land of the Entrepreneur >> the guy with a good/solid idea - and the basic knowledge of materials, manufacturing processes -etc have we developed a inner fender well to cut down on the amount of crap that our air-cooled cars kick up?? I've heard there is someone in the UK that has made some - but I want to buy American.. As we know >> ALL the newer "modern cars have inner fender/wheel well protection..we need the same to protect our beloved air cooled 911s!! anybody got a lead - source for wheel wells?? thanks kgl rant over kgl

At the risk of sounding like a smart-ass, the guy with 2 911s, a Merc, and a BMW wants to buy 'merican?
 I got a nice set of wheel liners from a nice fellow in Austria who had a batch made up as part of a group buy on the UK site impactbumpers.com. There's a whole thread there. EDIT - His username is austria3

The non-galvanized cars need these removed yearly for cleaning/inspection if used in bad weather. A good idea for galvanized cars every few years as well.
