Thanks for sharing. I know, I’m on his list. I was just curious about these. Do they slap on the factory clear ones?

Ah. Yes. But not perfectly. Maybe it's user error.

it was done by a local shop, its toward what I was shooting for, but shape is not there yet. Easy to peel off.

I can't imagine mine *without* the black stone guards. My favorite exterior "mod."

Test photo of 991 shape on 718 Spyder (also not metal) below. I have a list of interested 992 and 718 folks. PM me if you want to be added to the list. I have more testing to do before I feel comfortable offering these.

I am planning fins on my 992 T , however, I Would much prefer Agate Grey to fit the Carrera T theme.

@tx targa , will you provide that option?

How about (standard) Matt Anthracite? My wife tells me I am colour blind anyway.

I am getting Anthracite double stripes over the bonnet and roof already, so no perfect match either.

Here are my preferred double stripes in Matt Anthracite

I'm a Nay. I have a white 2020 C4S and just ordered new clear stone guards as mine were yellowing.
