Default dust covers and coilover sleeves

how many of you guys are NOT running any dust covers on your shocks with coilover sleeves?

is there any kind of accordion boot that will fit, or even a neoprene/rubber cover that can fit around the springs?? i hate having the shock shafts exposed to the elements!

you are supposed to modify the stock ones to fit on the new shocks, i am not sure of the "side-effects" of not running them will be but it can't be helping the life of the shock...

the instructions did not state to modify the stock ones. the OEM ones wouldn't work even if i modified them.

i know it's not good to run without them, and that's why i want to know if anyone has a solution.

lol this reminds me of a post in the CRX forum back in the day where someone used condoms as dust covers. i'm not sure how well they ended up working but the pics were pretty funny.
