Front Under Clam Protectors Elise/Exige - LotusTalk

SirLotus · 04-22-2010, 11:48 AM

I have an extra few of these Elise front clam protectors made from a 3/16" specialized grade of virtually unbreakable polycarbonate that saved me from under clam damage many times. Included is a small front bumper to protect against light contact with concrete parking stops and curbs. They adhere with silicone glue or caulk which enable them to be removed if needed. They are $95 shipped, if interested please PM me,

PM Sent. Downtown Chicago is going to wreak havoc on my clam without a set of these.

Slacker · 04-30-2010, 09:59 PM

are these still available? Where did you get them? Can I have something similar fabricated? I just installed a new clam (car is still at the shop) and it is impossible for me to get in and out of my driveway without bottoming out. dont want to ruin the fresh body work.

AgentTripleX · 05-29-2010, 09:41 AM

How do these compare to the Lotus chin guards? Also, will they work if my license plate box is shaved?

Fubar1764 · 05-29-2010, 11:27 PM

These guards are fantastic. If you actually come up to a parking chock, these won't help you, but the Lotus guards will. However, if you pull out of parking lot, these will protect the chin of the clam from getting scratched up. I used a marine silicone to glue them onto the chin.
The license plate guard will not fit if you've shaven the box off. If that's the case, the guards should still work just fine for minor scrapes. Hope that helps.
Bump for a great item!
Cheers!
Jack

I'll take a set. My clam goes in soon for a freshening up after this mishap:
Duck!!!

Possible to get just the outer pieces?

TheOx · 09-12-2010, 11:10 PM

any more left? ive scraped the front once, and i dont want to go thru that emotional pain again.
thanks!

rwbronco · 10-01-2010, 09:09 AM

damn that's a brilliant idea! I don't scrape at all so I have no need for them but this is a great idea

MCdougieFresh · 10-05-2010, 08:17 PM

Sending PM if you have any more of these

beechboy · 10-21-2010, 03:43 PM

i will take a set if any left

Fubar1764 · 11-02-2010, 09:27 AM

Make no mistake, people, these protectors are AWESOME! I took a driveway hard. CHIPPED the polycarb. ZERO damage to clam. I found the chip and reglued it back on. How cool is THAT?!

SirLotus · 11-03-2010, 04:17 AM

That is so great to hear.

Viper, you have PM.

Two quick questions:

I showed the picks to a friend of mine and he's wondering if they would fit a 2008 Exige, as well. Do they?

And, I like the Elise decal on the "license plate bracket". Where can one get that?

Gleek · 11-05-2010, 05:10 PM

I got them today. Thanks!

Would regular clear silicon caulk (the kind for bath/shower) work well to hold them on?

Thanks,
Rich

SirLotus · 11-06-2010, 04:43 AM

Rich, clear silicone caulk is what I used to install them 3 years ago.

Got the protectors on Monday and the car yesterday. Put them on last night ;-)
Thanks again.

PM sent... trying to buy a set, please respond.

MCdougieFresh · 11-16-2010, 11:31 AM

Got my set installed a week ago. Solid product, easy application. Thanks!

zuspiel · 01-25-2011, 06:50 AM

Everybody needs one!

It's great for piece of mind. I DD mine and scraped twice in the past three months... But I don't have to worry
