I have old clear ones on my black 997 and want to replace but worried the clear might get damaged. I tried to replace them on my 993 but it was a bitch and the clearcoat got damaged and had to repaint. Really don't want to have to go through that on the 997

Any concern with the magnetic ones flying off at speed? I have heard of mag numbers flying off at the track

I went ahead and ordered the matte black magnetic ones from
Magnagrafik.
Hopefully will look nice on my Green Targa. If not, should be easy enough to remove and resell, since they are magnetic.

Sorry for the crappy quality pic, I'll take some more in better light tomorrow.

I don't want black or carbon fiber. I have clear guards today on a white car but there is that fine black line of dirt surrounding them that is hard to remove after washing. Also easy to push dirt under the film.
Has anyone tried?

I got my magnagrafix and was told that they wouldn't be an exact fit due to the bottom of the oem being so low, well they were right. My clear oem guards are about an inch lower than the magnagrafix and it looks ridiculous if you just try to cover them. Im afraid to remove the originals since I read that could damage the original paint. I guess it was a waste of money unless I do remove the oem stone guards. I don't have a way to steam them off, any suggestions? Oems are starting to discolor.

If/when I get a permanent set, I think I may just install them over the stock guards- I've heard other's have done this, and it looks fine, since they are the same as the stock clear ones. I too have the same fear that removing the stock stone guards could damage the original paint.

I removed my 10-yr old clear stone guards myself without damaging any paint. I used my wife's hair dryer, lots of goo gone, and a plastic card for scraping. It did however take hours and I was hating life by the time I was done.
