Shop to replace Stone Guards
I am taking off my old stone guards when I get Wes to correct the paint on my new 993. Can anyone recommend a shop that they have had a good experience with changing out stone guards?

I think the trick is to spray soapy water first then you can move them around and it is pretty easy. You should do it yourself. on the GT3 forum guys are putting stickers on themselves this way, and most of those guys don't do anything on their own

Its not putting them on as that's easy, its getting them off and that can be a BITCH
I had to have my 993 Q panel resprayed due to my efforts on a stone guard removal. Now that's 10 years older than my 997 but they can get baked on there. Some guys get them off easy, some guys not so much....
When I had my rear bumper resprayed at 427 Collision, I asked them to remove the stone guards and replace with the new ones I had bought. They did a good job

Thanks Guys.
Vern, I read you your story last night...damn!
Wes at Orion said he would take them off for me, so maybe I will try and put them on myself if I can't find a shop that I trust.

Unfortunately, he doesn't do that or PDR. Bought new guards this morning and may try it myself after Wes is done.

My favourite is the thin Venture Shield -it's pretty much invisible and stays that way - but I'd go with the thicker version on the quarters. 3M is too thick, soft and yellows. I think Ronan has VS on his green car. I know, 3M bought it years ago but it's the same great product.

When Wes worked on my paint last summer, he took the car to John @ Auto-Links for full PPF & tint once he was done his correction work. So I would think that Auto-Links could do this job for you no problem.
And here's a consideration - if your side skirts are still in good shape, you can get the PPF film covering the entire side skirt then up and over the rear hips all in one single piece so no seams or edges. That's what I had done and I like it a lot better, and it provides way more protection, than the original stone guard 'patch'. More money of course though...
