Default Stone Guards - Recommendations

After 30,000km of mostly back road driving I'm in need of replacing my stone guards. Before I buy a pair of OEM decals from Pelican, are there any other options that result in better looking/functioning protection?

Look at FD Motorsports stone guards.

Not sure about other options..But these OEM at ~$38 each seem like a pretty good deal. Not sure how much cheaper you could get? I imagine the places that install the clear bras and wraps may be able to help but not sure about the prices there either...

OEM STONE GUARDS

Good Luck!

I tossed on the magnetic stone guards. They do their job and allow you to try the black without commitment.

Hadn't thought about that. Great idea. Have you got a set from this company? https://magnagrafik.com/

When I replaced mine about a year ago using the OEM ones, my installer said the OEM are better as they are thicker than just a custom cut clear bra..

That is where I got mine. The fit and finish is fine.

They come off and on with ease. I did use a blow drier to shape them when I installed them. But but it was cold outside.

Thanks. Reached out to a local wrap specialist and they said the same, noting that anything they make will be inferior. Will buy OEM or the 1.4mm FD version.

Thanks for the recommendation. Just ordered these. Will try them out, but most likely run them on track days and back road runs over the top of the OEM guards. Appreciate your help.

They will be perfect for the track and back roads. If something penetrates the magnet... It's serious.

Have been running the magnetic guards for a few weeks. Unsure if I like the look on a silver car, but is interesting. I'll run them up until the end of the next track day.
