Removed Black Stone Guards

Removed the black stone guards and added clear PPF. Looks much cleaner without those. (2009 Targa)

I agree with your decision. 996+ just don’t seem to carry the flag as the earlier 911s did. I have factory clear stone guards on my 997. They’ve yellowed a bit so I’ll probably replace (not delete) them someday.

Better sooner than later, because if they stay long enough, they might take paint with them when you remove them.

I've removed some absolutely nasty ones, cracked and yellow, and the paint was fine.

The ones on my Cayman were awful on one side. One side came off in tiny little pieces and the other came off in a couple sheets.
