Yes. As long as unit steel is underneath.

SSW…thanks for post my friend.

Yes you can and probably should in case you don't like the look. I've done that and have to take them off before washing.

They sell a lot of interesting magnetics. What parts of the 997 body are non-magnetic metals?

SS-SG-CF is the correct item number. The SG2 is being phased out and is too small to cover the OEM clear guard.

Another note: If you decide to keep your old clear guards on the car it is essential you do not allow moisture to collect underneath the magnetic guard. It is a bad feeling to lose your stone guard at high speed! Magnetic sticks better to the finish of your car vs thru a clear ppf film.

Thanks,
Dan

I bought some sweet magnetic black carbon fiber style stone guards which I think are fantastic looking. ...

Here are some pics. I completely love the stone guards, and will report back after some use with the text. I probably need to play with text location and spacing.
How are the stone guards working out? Any cautions or lessons learned? Did you purchase the "carbon fiber" look?

Very well. Just have to remove them before washing. And yes carbon.

I have these as well. Only complaints is that when dirty the stone guards show a near vertical lined pattern. I too have a silver car so it always looks pretty clean and I find myself quick detailing the stone guards to get rid of the pattern. Also the vinyl is starting to bubble after only a few months of use. My car is a driver, rain or shine. I do remove if washing the car.

Dan's products are top notch and he has great customer service! I use his numbers for DE events and they stick and look great.

Hi Scotty,

What version stone guards did you buy? The vertical line pattern is metallic brake dust that is drawn by the magnetic attraction. We see this with cars that see a lot of track use. It cleans up pretty easily.

We have not had any reports of any bubbles developing. I would be curious if anyone else has had this issue.

Thanks,
Dan

p.s. Canyon…thanks for the kind remarks.
