When you order tell them what you have.
I have a 991.2 GTS and mine fit perfectly.

Here is the info I received from Dan about my 991.2. I just got in the Carbon Fiber guards and they look great.

Matte Black with Red Porsche Script…….$89.95 set (991-SG-MP).

Black Carbon Fiber is our best looking stone guard.

The magnetic aspect is good, and I think they are definitely more protective than PPF.

Aesthetics are another thing, and to each their own, but I neither hate nor love them—and they seem to look better on some cars than others. Ran them on my Brewster car for a while, and they were pretty subtle but somehow didn't belong. Also, while they do provide more protection, I began to wonder what would happen to the extended PPF around them after a while—would I remove them after a few thousand miles only to see a shark-fin-shaped bit of perfection surrounded by micro tears? And on a car with the factory PPF, would the perfect area be surrounded by paint chips?

I've decided to use them if I take the car back out on track again, as the area they cover is one of the prime spots for tire boogers, and for times I am going on a drive where the road or roads has a fair bit of rock/detritus.

I have the carbon fiber on my 991.2. I think it looks way better than without. I have mine over xpel ultimate plus PPF (entire car). These look great, provide more protection than the PPF and prevent the PPF from getting chewed up. For 100$, they are a steal.

Looks great! I just got my set in. Very happy with them.

We can make the stone guards to suit your taste. We can color match. Although it can be tricky with certain colors. White would not be too difficult.

We also make a Martini style that is not in our catalogue yet. See photo. Might be cool in the 918 Spyder monochromatic as well. We made these top stripes for a happy customer last week.

Wow. I really like the look of the monochromatic color scheme (as well as the original). Something to consider. I would love to know the likelihood of the hood stripe magnet peeling off a high speed.

djlynch - I see this post is several years old already. I wonder how these are holding up?

Curious which version you ordered for the GTS (like the look in the profile picture).

Been using it now for a bit and they definitely get a beating. I could see needing new ones after a year or maybe a little before. Then again, I drive all the time vs. some who only drive their 911s only 2k miles a year or so. Well worth the price imo.

Well, I decided to give these a try and I am very pleased. Seem to be good quality. I’m happy with this as it gives me peace of mind since I removed the factory stone guards when I had the car PPF’d. Plus it gives the car a new/different look.

I added the Porsche Logo matte finish model just because I was curious as to how it looks? The logo is a vinyl decal on the stone guard and it is darker than guards red and a little lighter than Carmine Red which I have. It matches pretty good if your 10 feet away but as you get closer you can see it’s a little lighter. I like it one day then the next it bugs me! I can carefully remove the logo if I get to the point I just can’t love it! Overall I really like the look and protection the stone guards provide! By the way I have full Expel plus the factory stone guard under this and it has been rock solid for speeds up to 90 mph on the highway!
