Stone Guards or no Stone Guards
#32
Bump! Six weeks? If car paint acted like that Porsche would have to store the cars in a huge parking lot before they put the stone guards on and delivered the cars.

Guys, you can DIY black ones super easily with black vinyl wrap. It is basically the same material. Did a full season of AX and the cones were no match for the wrap!
I had some clear ones as a template but basically if you don't then
1. Get some construction paper (or any heavy paper) and trace your stone guards.
2. Get some black vinyl wrap. Amazon sells it cheap. I used matte black
3. Cut it out with the template
4. Start at a corner, stretch it tight, and stick it on the car slowly in one direction to push out the bubbles

This would be a good way to try out the look of black stone guards without too much effort and expense.

+1 and you can DIY clear ones as I have done with a few dollars in material from eBay.
Absolutely put them back on as all those dings in the old plastic ones will otherwise be chips in your paint job.

A related question: I’m planning to have my car detailed which will probably include paint correction and ceramic coating. Wondering if it would be best to remove stone guards for the work and install new ones after. Any thoughts? TIA.

I recently removed/replaced my stone guards before a one-step correction and ceramic coating. When the stone guards were first applied they were near invisible, after the detail there is a fine outline from the correction. My detailer stated that the stone guards wouldn’t adhere if the area was ceramic coated before application. If I were to do it again I would have my detailer correct the paint, apply the stone guards, then ceramic coat. Just my .02
