If you’ve looked up close on a Factory Five cobra – there is quite a gap between the body, frame, and sheet metal behind the seats. It’s almost crazy to think of that much space that water, rocks, etc can get through to the cockpit. Whitby Motorcars makes a filler plate kit for this, you can make your own design, but I opted for something already pre-fabbed and easy to install.
As you can see above, the gap can be up to 2 inches wide – yes you can see open air behind the seats. The parts that Whitby includes are simple die cut aluminum sheets and bulb seal. Just drill and rivet into place!
While I was in the rear wheel well, I wanted to install the FFR splash guards as well. These are just as simple to install as the front splash guards.
- PREMIUM FORMULATION: The RAPTOR Truck Bed Coating 1K formulation gives a durable, abrasion resistant finish with excellent adhesion to metal, aluminum, fiberglass, plastic and wood ideal for your truck.
- TOUGH & DURABLE: This automotive essential is ideal for protecting truck beds, tailgates, running boards, fender flares and other vehicle surfaces from impact, scratches, corrosion and water damage.
- PRO TIP: For best results, good preparation is essential. Clean & degrease the area – removing dirt, oil, grease & wax. Abrade with grit sandpaper for each respective substrate and always mask off surrounding areas as needed to protect from overspray.
- EASY TO USE: This spray dries to form an attractive, textured finish that resists fading from the sun while the clog-free nozzle makes it easy to use and it can be applied directly to most prepared metals and plastics.
- U-POL POWER & RAPTOR TOUGH: U-POL & RAPTOR are World leaders in automotive refinishing with a wide range of comprehensive products specializing in driving surface perfection including fillers, coatings, aerosols, adhesives, & truck-bed liners.
You can see that this splash panel really reduces the area behind the tires to fling rocks, etc. Many state that some of those larger rocks can actually spider crack your paint. I will most likely do some Raptor undercoat and/or install the Vraptor Wheel well Liner kit in the future.
