I will be reinstalling the new ones this weekend hopefully. So she sits in the garage waiting. I really wish I planned it better, as I would have possibly done some other work. I wanted to do the SSK, motor mounts, and some other maintenance items, cabin filters, check radio antenna.
I guess I will maybe detail the inside,a maybe clean up the engine bay.
Once I have them installed, I will take a pic.

I don't know for sure. The silver one was original, the clear was done sometime between '97-'04. It did have a fair amount of wear so my guess is that it was several years old.

Hopefully they will go back on as easily as they came off.

Adam - here is what she looks like w/o the guards. Looks great but too risky IMHO.

If I took a pic of my polar silver car with the clear invinca shields from that distance I don't think you'd see them.

Like rock/stone chips? Take it off!!!!

I installed the clear plastic Stonguard over the front bumper/trunk years ago, and am eternally glad I did. Previous 911 didn't have one, and got absolutely stoneblasted after only a year of driving around this area.

Have this Stonguard material on both the 993 (Adventurine Green) and '98 Audi A4 (silver). Material can't be seen when over 10 ft. from the car, and it does a beautiful protection job. Both cars have 90K miles or over on them, and Stonguard and underlying paint looks great.
