Default Stones in belly pan

Pure noob question, but I can’t seem to find any info on if anyone else has had issues with an over abundance of stones/gravel getting caught on top of the engine splash shield. It accumulates to the point that it rattles at idle. I’ve dropped it down and cleaned it out a couple times in the 200 miles i’ve driven the car, but there HAS to be a better way. Maybe swapping out the cup2’s? Car will primarily be driven on the street. 992 GT3. Thanks guys.

Where do you live? I collect a couple small pieces occasionally, but certainly nothing I would notice after 200 miles of street driving (and I never hear them - I just clean the tray at oil change which I do every 3k miles).

look around the side markers. Stones get wedged in there and can cause ppf to move and potentially scratch paint as well. (GT3 not 3RS)

I do too OP.

my car has less than 500 miles. I installed the Soul valve delete, and the bottom diffuser has a shocking amount of gravel.

I got what I could but without a lift, would be impossible to remove it all.

I have a 3RS and every time you drive the car you get gravel build up behind the front and rear wheels. I take my blower and hit it real quick. Works well.

Me too. Sticky tires kick up all the little pebbles. I just clean them out when I do the oil change.
