Small front stone guards?

Had these on a Corvette; 911 with broad hips really needs these. My XPel on the front facing rear qtr panels has been shredded and will replace … all in just 2k miles!

Anyone make these for the 992?

I've searched and never found any (at least custom fit) - and what is available for the vette look good and apparently work well.
Seems like a great business opportunity for companies that already manufacture similar ones, but I guess they don't think so!

That would destroy the aero balance of the car.

the splash guards I’ve used - ACS composites - on other sports cars were just fine - subtle and worked. I’m not running over 100mph daily.

The shop that installed the Xpel on my car put another layer where the factory film originally was. This way when it gets torn up only the top piece needs to be replaced.
