Default Any source for 944 padded fender protectors?

I'm looking for a well made set of padded fender protectors for a 944. I think I remember seeing one that was made for both fenders and the front panel. I'll being doing an engine swap and want to protect to paint from the usual damages. My SO is asking me for X-Mas suggestions and that would be a good one.

Thanks

PerformanceProducts (automotion) used to carry it in there catalog.

Edit - Page 28 of the Spring/Summer '04 catalog (yea a bit outdated). Its made by Colgan, part # 906207 and is $75.

Pelican carries it also i believe...

I have a bunch of the performance products skirts for 911/996/928/944's and they are all very high quality.

Here is the performance bras.

Felt padded backside, and nice quality covers. Bendable tabs keep the bra hooked in place. The only thing that I would prefer with the covers, would be a nice big 1 piece bra, but the 3 piece is a little nicer for storage purposes.

I should pick up a set of those. I cant even count the amout of times where i drop a socket over the nose panel and hold my breath as it bounces off.

But i have a feeling its going to be one of those things where i keep saying "ill put them on in a minute" or "this job should be quick and i wont need them" . .

Thanks Karl for the pics. That makes the decision a slam dunk. Those look very well made and should fit my needs nicely. Pelican doesn't even have a pic of their version and I refuse to buy anything I can't see first.

I have the 3-piece Colgan set, and I can never seem to get them to stay in place, even with the tabs. The two on the side tend to slide off sometimes if I nudge them the wrong way, like when I'm bending way over the fender.

I was wondering about that. I even thought of making my own with rare earth magnets embedded in the padding. Those things are tenacious to say the least and grip like hell.
