The first pic looks like the trap rock they lay down when a street is seal coated. Hate the stuff.
That paving method is a popular way to extend the road lifetime. The loose residual aggregate will chew up the hip area very quickly when running sticky tires. The rough surface that results from this paving method probably chews up tires faster too.
Ouch. I have similar disfiguring damage on my passenger side from a suicide rock.It happened in the first 100 miles which was disappointing.
I just bought a pair of mudflaps similar to below, and going to install them. They will be barely visible, but hopefully stop the stone throwing at my car!
There must be something wrong with the fender arch design on the 991's. With only 500 miles and only 2 short road trips around Central Oregon High Desert I needed a re-paint on the bottom half of the car. Chips went through the PPF.
Did they paint the entire rear fender, or did they just paint half and then blend into the rest of the panel?
You must live where it snows and that's what's left after the snowplows/sanders have made numerous passes on your roads. That's how it is where I live, in the spring the gutters are full of it too. Typically the neighborhood streets are worse than the highways and freeways because of traffic and its speed. As winter ends and other drivers and rain wash the roads clean you'll have a lot less of that. Until around June when little if any remains. Last year we had a lot of snow here and tiny pebbles were the worst. This year, so far, there's been a lot less snow and the pebble count is down. I had my C4S out Sunday and Monday of this week for the first time since last November and had the pebble soundtrack again. I've had PPF installed on the lower kick panels and the back of the rear wheel lips and bottom of the rear bumper to help protect against it.
Good luck with your new 911.
Tiny pebbles? In my part of Colorado the winter "sanding" mix contains mostly 3/8 to 1/2 inch bolders.
Drove this guy across the border on the way to a bachelor's party in Vancouver. It was pretty funny. Once the Canadian customs guys realized we were Navy and this was a squadron car, we all had a blast with it. US customs on the way back, however, were just as stoic as they could be.
i love the fuel probe (or whatever the military term is) on the roof. What a beast.
