Default 992.2 GTS - TLG mudguard install

Purchased these from the Kies Motorsports site. Install of the fronts was easy since turning the wheels provides plenty of space to work. The rears? Not so much. stubby screwdriver (pictured) was critical since I didn't want to take off the rear wheels. I suspect the the additional 10 mm SPASM didn't help matters.

The mudflap product is pretty good, though pricey for what you get. Frankly, there aren't many options online. The package does not have all the spacers you need for the 992.2 and on the rear install, the liner sits back from the wheel arch so I had to source (home depot) longer screws to go through the hole in flaps and still be able to thread through the existing screw hole. video here:

Unknown how much protection from stones, dirt, etc. the flaps provide, but will update. Very easy to undo without any noticeable damage.

Not worth the rubbing damage risk.

I also found that the fitment on the 992.2 GTS left some to be desired. Besides the issues you mentioned, the front flaps don't cover the whole width of the tire (which may look odd, but at least I'd like to have that option) so some rocks still get flung towards the rear. But it does help to have them regardless. Also, rocks get stuck in between the flap and plastic fender.

I'm planning on buying some generic flaps and cutting them to see if I can get it to cover the whole front tire without looking goofy.

I was just about to order a set of these and seeing this is now giving me pause. I had hoped they had a bit more protection like the ones on my Supra. I may hold off for now.

Yep I saw a Supra with some and that fitment and coverage looked excellent.

They are ridiculously expensive for what it is. Bought some ABS plastic sheets for 20.-, some measuring and drawings, and cut them myself on my laser... Understand, not everyone has a laser at home, though.

Negative. The flaps themselves rubbing through the paint or ppf because they are not engineered. Most OEM ‘splash guards’ will damage the paint because grit gets in the gaps and nature does its thing.

ah, did not consider that. Thanks.

so a little felt or rubber material adhered to the backside on the small area exposed to the paint. The rest is on the liner.

We choose where to get the wear. For me, rock chips on the hips are least desirable. Small screw holes tapped into the fender liner and some wear against the inner edge of the fender sheet metal are more tolerable, obviously not desired.

When I bought the car, I was at the Pcar crossroads: protect/prevent wear so it stays new forever, or drive the wheels off it and buy another. Every time I drive it I know I chose correctly to DRIVE IT. They’ll make more, this was born to run.

that can be mitigated with small strip of PPF. If was excellent I would invest in a set.

Road rash pierced through the PPF on my black car after two years of high speed runs.
Damage was repaired and I corrected this situation with double PPF in the damaged area. I'm about to install the TLG mudguards.
I agree with your point but even if they reduce exposure by half, they are worth it to me.

Thank you for the advice. I added a small strip of adhesive backed PPF on top of the existing film that had been installed professionally. Probably overkill, but had some lying around so why not. Unnoticeable and dId not affect fitment at all.
