G29 in San Diego area - mud flap opportunity?

I was looking at the mud flaps made by Zl1addons that a few folks mentioned in other threads, made for the Supra. On their product development page, I noticed they're looking for G29 owners in the San Diego area to work with them to develop products for it.

https://zl1addons.com/pages/product-development-needs

Are any of you in the San Diego (Poway) area willing to take one for the team?

There's not a huge difference between the two, so the adjustments aren't going to be time consuming. It's well worth it, I think.

I reached out to them so let's see what they say. I used to work 5 minutes from their location, a walking 5 minutes

They reached out to me to see what products I'm interested in, are you guys only interested in mud guards or anything else? My rear fenders are pretty wrecked lol

Took a quick look at their website - rock guards are the only thing that looks interesting.

Thanks for asking!

Rock guards for sure though you might check if they're interested in making strut tower braces for the G29 though, of course, they're already available from a couple of other sources. Depending upon design and cost, I'd be interested. I could have my own powder coated but would be very interested in a set similar to factory but powder coated black or red.

Perhaps you could inquire about a group buy on the rock guards. There might be enough interest from this forum to warrant it.

I was going to dangle that carrot saying there's interest from the forum

One down side to their Supra rock guards: They say they must be removed before using a car wash. Not that I plan on doing that often, but I hate to foreclose the option.

Nice to note but, not to drum up another car wash thread, I'd have to be in pretty bad shape to consider an automatic car wash for my Z4 and even then would only consider touchless which the rocks would have no problem with.

Obviously because of such low volume but it's a shame we don't have more accessory options for our Z4.
