Jesse D Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I tore the rear passenger fender/wing off my car last Sunday while autocrossing. Caught the last cone before the finish and sent it up the backside of the rear tire between tire and fender- easily removed the whole fiberglass fender. I knew this was a hazard, and know there are mods/add ons that help prevent this. What do people more experienced than me like for this job? My exhaust is driver side and runs all the way to the rear of the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James A Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I see people fabricate a triangle of metal as wide as the wing and bolt it to the lower frame rail in front of the wing and cone is deflected away form the wing, at least in theory.

Kitcat Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 If I ever auto -X I will get something like the attached fabricated. I think a simple bar, mounted to the seat anchors underneath the car and extending an inch past the rear fender works reasonably well too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelD Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Guys, You're not supposed to hit the cones with anything. Not even fender guards. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
