Default Magnetic Stone Guards and Text

Hi Guys,

I was looking for ways to spruce up my new to me 2009 997.2 Arctic Silver Cab and wanted some black stone guards and some "Carrera S" text. I looked on line and found Dan from MagnaGrafik.com.

I bought some sweet magnetic black carbon fiber style stone guards which I think are fantastic looking. I also bought some magnetic "Carrera S" text in the matching black carbon fiber finish. The text is thin and I'm viewing it as a test. Easy way for me to see how I like the text, and can easily take on and off for a completely stock look.

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.

Frantically trying to resize. Sorry. Doesn't seem to be working, even after I reduced the file size.

Edit: Hopefully fixed correctly.

Reminds me of mine!! For some reason I cannot upload my pics right now. I can have stickers made if anyone is interested. $ 85.00 for the set in almost any color.

Think I don't have enough post to post a picture. What a bummer. My set up looks really nice. I have the Carrera and the 4 in black and the S in Red.

Great idea! Will it work effectively with vinyl wrapped cars?

The text wasn't in the catalog, but Dan at Magnagrafik made it for me as a test. So far its working pretty good. I need to test at prolonged highways speeds to make sure the text stays put. The stone guards are a lock. But the magnetic text so far is working.

Yes, yours was my inspiration. They are going to make me a red magnetic S also. If the magnets don't stay put, I'll likely go the more permanent vinyl route, because I do think I'll like the text long term.

My magnetic stone guards are currently working over the factory 3M film. I'm going to remove the 3M, but the magnets will work as long as there is steel under them, which there is.
