I placed my order not long ago through https://magnagrafik.com/Order.aspx The site appears to still be active.

Richard Porter responded to an email I sent to info@magnagrafik.com to confirm they received my order.

Would you mind posting a photo of yours installed? I'm also considering the "carbon" on my black car.

Thanks

It is pretty subtle.. From a distance it just looks like a matte black guard.

Ok gang. I heard back from Dan’s wife via text just now. They are working on getting orders filled and returning calls so try the cell number I posted above.

I've been using Dan's magnetic rock guards since 2013 on my C4S and they have always remained in place and have fully protected this vulnerable location from road rash.

Dan has also fully stood behind the quality of his products and in my case, one piece of material (out of a few sets that I've purchased) was showing signs of delamination (after minimal use) and he replaced it for N/C with a new set.

For the **** car cleaners out there: the rock guards should be periodically removed (after each use for me) and the area around the edges properly cleaned where the material sits on the paint as fine pieces of dirt and bugs collect next to the magnetic rock guards.

Good to hear that Dan is feeling better...

So I just looked through their catalog again...I had no idea that all of those cool stripes, "decals" etc. were also made in magnetic! That's pretty awesome and a great way to have a different look that you can easily change back

These are the standard "Black Stone Guards" from RKXTech. They were only $35! The car is a Carrera 4, and I did have some bubbles on the first attempt, but then put the hairdryer on it, pulled it off about an inch, laid it back down and smoothed it out and they were gone!

frybear, What's the trick? I've tried calling, emails and texting over past 2 weeks - what time of day did you receive a response? I have an event coming up in June and hoping to receive my order in time!
