Ok this might be a stupid questions but i dont know the item name of the plastic stickers that are on my 944 around the wheels on the fenders to protect it from rockships, im taking those off when i get the car painted and wanted to know where i can get those and how much they cost.

Those are your stone guards, and Pelican Parts (www.pelicanparts.com) has them.

Be careful and make sure your body guy knows what he's doing when he puts them on. You have to stretch them to make sure they fit. My body guy didn't and ruined the whole set, which cost me about a hundred bucks!

It was a really tedious job removing them.

I guess if your repainting it's does not matter

Marc Gelefsky

Thanks for the tip, I did not know you had to stretch them.
Plan to replace mine as well.

Stretch them?? How and why do you have to do that? I thought they come pre-sized...ready to stick right on there. Stretching would only cause them to be crooked, no?

about a hundred bucks @ vertexauto.com if your repaintiong you may want to invest in stoneguard protection for the front valnce and nose as well...invincashield.com -chris

I dunno, but after spending a hundred bucks for all four of them I was sour to find out the body shop frigged them up. they were good quality 3M parts. I called the place I got them from and they told me when you fit them on you kinda have to stretch them and pull them tight. I figured they went on just like normal vinyl, buti guess they are a bit harder to work with.

...or, my body shop just screwed up and didn't want toown up to it.

use of heat gun might ease installation of the stone guards.
mine is getting repainted and i told the shop to take the old ones off.
where is a reasonable priced place to purchase new ones?

Many paint wholesellers have the 3M sheets of materials. If you take your time you can cut them yourself and save some $. I took an alternate route and taped of the body and sprayed on undercoating. Looks really good and now most road debris just bounces off. Undercoating costs less than $20 and I never will have the discoloration problem that comes with aging 3M film. BYW, you can paint the undercoating!

I bought the "option kit" only from INVICTA Shield online. $50 for OE 6 pieces and the mirrors kit is thrown in. They sent a video how-to, spray bottle and solution mix. Pieces are pre-cut 3M. Great deal and easy to do. DO NOT put the stone guards on without the right solution. BTW, the front and rear fender pieces are different lengths, guess how I know that.

when you apply the new ones, wet the area with alcohol liberally
then apply stone guards. they will slide around until you get them in place
then just let the alcohol evaporate and you will be set!
it worked for me and i never tried putting anything like this on. they look pretty good too.
by the way there is a guy on e-bay selling the sets for 65bucks and he uses 3m material.
have fun
