Default Black Stone Guards and Clear Side Markers Installed

Noticed that my white stone guards were beginning to yellow in barely 6 months. Ordered black stone guards from Suncoast Parts and had my dealer install them. While having it done, the service manager suggested I replace the side markers with clear Euro-spec markers. Good suggestion. I like how it turned out. Not for everyone, but for those with white cars, you now know how it will look.

The black stone guards look really good on a white car, IMO. Looks great

The stone guards and wheels offset all the white of the car. In my opinion it looks great.

I have the same color combo car/wheels and mine is yellowing too after 6 months. But the black is a bit too harsh for me. I was wondering if someone has a white car with those blue martini striped stone guards ? Maybe those are visually speaking a bit softer on a white car ?

Ask the dealership to replace under warranty. All they can say is "no". In the past, I've had mine replaced this way. They'll yellow again, but at least look good for another several months. Keep tire dressing away from them. This speeds up the yellowing process.
