Default Black Stone Guards Yay or Nay

My clear stone guards are showing their age. So I think it's time to replace them. I saw these online just searching, I think they look pretty cool. Curious what everyone here uses. Clear or Black or CF look?

I do like the magnetic style as I had on my Z3M since they are so easy to add and remove. Anyone know where I can get these? I want the magnets, pelican parts looks to have them but they don't look like magnets.





Black? or Clear?

Never been a fan of that look on modern 911s...same as with the black mix-n-match side intakes discussed in another thread. It just reminds me of the Autozone Accessory Aisle school of customization.

Oh my gosh, please... no!!!! The black on silver look doesn't look good at all. Your mileage may vary.

I ran the magnetic ones for a while, only stopped after one got damaged when I took an off-road excursion at the track (did its job well, but perished in the process). I think it looks good, but haven't had them on for the past year.

When I buy a new-to-me Porsche one of the first things I do is to replace the stone guards.. I use the factory stuff, bought from Suncoast or a similar online retailer.. $58 each from Suncoast, $52 from Sonnen.

Personally, I kind of like the contrast of the black. Contrary to most...
