The dealer tossed my guards in the trunk without my asking. I binned them when it was delivered to the house before realizing folks will pay for them. If it's being trailered to you, privately, know who is doing it; check them out. Have the vehicle photographed extensively before and after it goes on the trailed and inspect it when it gets to your place. My transporters were a retired couple who did this on the side as part of their travellling around the country. Car came 400+ miles over night, open 24 foot flat bed with a shield up front. Whole flat bed operated like a flat bed tow truck, fully hydraulic so no chance of splitter rub or damage. My experience was perfect. Though I did drop ship the dealer a G-meter to put in the car so I could tell if it had been moved or driven off the trailer at any time. Very reasonable price too. Recommended that carrier to others here who asked.
