Did this on my GT3 touring today. got auto zone generics like Montoya. got screws from dealer parts department. just out of a bin, they were the only black ones they had (that were short enough). not Porsche specific... you will see below the washer fluid is behind the driver liner and the fuel filler neck and accessories and what look to be oil or coolant lines behind the passenger fender liner. i placed the screws around these areas. i just hand screwed through the plastic on the flap and the plastic on the fender liner. once it grabbed the liner it snugged it towards the flap. was pretty straight forward. hope it helps save the side of the car and the front of the rear wheel arches. i drive my car
Absolutely brilliant...
You just relieved some stress that had formed from a restless nights sleep. Yesterday while detailing my new .2 3RS(Black), I noticed several rock chips on my drivers side door which left me with a sinking feeling after just 1,400 miles on the car. This seems like a great inexpensive and effective way of avoiding further damage with little aesthetic harm to the look of the car. Thanks also to OP for starting this thread and the idea.
I installed these on my car this weekend. I recently replaced my ppf and it's already starting to get chipped up on the hips so I decided to give them a try. These should help and they don't look that bad.
No, they don't completely eliminate rock chips. My rear fenders seem to have been spared, but the doors right behind the front wheels can still be prone to some rock contact. Fact is, when you turn that massive tire and it points to the door, all bets are off. However, when you're driving straight, you can rest easy knowing rocks will have a very hard time being flung back onto the paint.
Regardless, they've certainly cut down on chips. Still highly recommended.
Really, if you need to ask this question you have never seen the results of the leading edge of the front fender with PPF after a few thousand miles.
I've had PPF on my GT3 for 45k+ miles (three applications) , including 25+ track events, and my front fender is fine.
I do not know the brand Speedfilm used, but it dose look thicker than I have seen on other cars.
