Check out the link below, there is a picture of a Yellow Elise that has black protectors on the rear wheel arch. IMO they look cool and I will likely get them on my car

What do the rest of you think?

Those rear wheelarch protectors are a standard fitment on all elises - although usually they're clear not black.

If you look at some of the international Lotus sites, you will find that the protective film is black on the base models and clear on some option packages.

The choice seems to be whether you want them black or clear. Who knows if the same system will apply in the U.S.

*bzzzzt* some Exiges got them in black, the huge majority of Elises are clear, usually the exceptions are where the owners have done an after market fitting of black ones.

Probably, as they apparently help protect the paint. I'd get it in clear, though.

Moose - looks like you are a "pre-mature buzz-ulator", see here:

In Australia, for example, clear or black is offered depending on the options that you order.

So BBZZZTT! to you!

I believe that all Exiges had black.

As a note - they aren't big enough to protect the areas that take abuse (at least on the Exige).

Bloody Aussies

OK in the *UK* they're all clear

 

[Derek]

Not that it would be a deal breaker, but I like them in black. I hope this option is available to us

Make mine clear, please!

If they're black, I don't want 'em.
