I've purchased a '86 944 NA in May of this year and am slowly restoring it to a Concours d'Elegance condition. The car is driven several hundred of miles every weekend.

When I called 20th Street Auto to order replacements, they told me that they were not original and most 944s do not have them.

Both rock guards ( L and R rear, none on the front) on the car are cracked. Do I replace them or delete them?

If I was to replace them, any suggestions were I can get new ones?

 

Hey those look like mud guards. The stone guards are this sticky plastic type stuff that goes in front of the rear wheels ( on the 1/4) and behind the front wheels (on the fender)

 

Thanks Mike, I stand corrected.

I was concerned that Rock might think that I was trying to avoid him and his mishaps.

Do I replace the "mud guards or delete them?".

If you're seriously going concours with the car, I'd remove them.

If you're seriously going off-road with the car, I'd leave them.

 

replace them w/ ones that have neked ladies on them.

 

It's funny 'cause it's "neked"...lol

 

 

Delete them.

 

Now THAT is cool.

 

I wouldn't want Rock anywhere near my car - I'd keep em.

 

Concours? Remove them. If you want new ones, PM me, I've got some.

 

Look at your options and the original owners receipts to see if they were purchased from Porsche® Tequipment....I don't think they ever sold them.

Off the top of my head I would say delete them.

Good luck on the restoration.

 

Delete them.

 

lol i never knew 944's had them, i bought mine without them.
save 4 lbs!

 

delete em if you want. i kept the two in the rear and made them black. Gives an interesting detail to my very tame-looking car, imho. Two pics, one in race gear, the other at the fest last week.
