Picture is misleading, it's level, driveway is sloped ( as was photographer). Seats are newly acquired from another lister and are in brand new condition as they were removed shortly after the original car was bought new ans stored for 15 years. Until I come up with a better solution for removing those %$#@ stoneguards they gotta stay...........

 

Pete you changed your avatar. Where was that taken?

 

UD, the avatar was taken Saturday.

Bones, a heat gun and a plastic scraper will remove the stone guards. Paragon sells the whole set of them for $89.

 

Pete, I took your advice and tried the heat gun and plastic scraper, but the scraper by itself worked much better. The heat gun tended to just make a gooey mess. Cleaned the residual glue with gasoline and it worked perfectly. Thanks!

 

Excellent! Glad to be of help.
FWIW my old stone guards were ten times worse looking than yours.

Funny, in our avatars our cars look like the same color but I know mine is a darker shade of blue.

 

Diamond blue is funny...it changes colors according to light. Low light and overcast it looks almost a silvery gray, normal light the silvery blue, and at extreme angles like when the sun is low but bright in the sky it becomes almost lilac purple. It's a cool color.

 

I want a splitter now. both of your cars look too good with them.

 

Nice car!! Did you have any trouble on the install of the front splitter? Mine doesn't seem to fit the contours of my front skin.

 

Okay Bones, that officially is my favorite color, along with Pete's and Mike B's (Sapphire Metallic).

Perfect

 

Bones...

If taking off the stone guards is fairly easy, I'll order a set and dress up "Partzwhore". The cracked guards are probably the worst feature of my car's exterior!

Thanks for the inspriation!!!

944trs: Mine was a breeze to install, it fit well with no issues.

Jim: I used a heavy duty ice scraper (like for your windshield) and slowly worked the stoneguard off a little at the time. Took about an hour a side to dispose of all 6 pieces. I also buffed with fine cut rubbing compound just to blend back the exposed paint and the paint that's been under the stone guard for 17 years.

Zehnd: I really like the Diamond Blue but to me a 951 should be Guards Red, only problem is there's a million red ones out there. Just before I bought this car I had worked a deal for a red '86 951, and the morning I was leaving to pick up the car, the owner called and said they sold it the night before, after promising it to me. I was pretty hot, but it worked out because they wanted $4800 for that car with 140k miles, and I bought this one that's a year newer and had 78k miles and in much better condition for $4500.
