Never thought about red.. Would love to see some pictures once installed.. I will post some pictures of my black (carbon fiber) ones over the weekend.

As mentioned - switch to the black ones. Porsche stocks them from the 911 speedster model and they fit pretty well.

Have a white one as well and eventually gave up on them. The brake dust collects in the glue under the leading edge and you can't get it out reasonably.
In addition the glue turns yellow and that certainly does not help.

I fitted the black ones now and it looks OK if you balance it with the '911 Carrera S" on the bottom front of the door also in black. I'd prefer the clear ones but the black is just more practical.

Will take a pic the moment this d..m rain stops !

This shows my attempt at the black stone guards. These are lifted from the 911 Speedster. I added the black "911 Carrera S" logo to the doors in an effort to balance the black a bit. With the other black trim pieces (mirrors etc) it kinda works.

Plexus

Get Plexus - not only will it take the scratches out but will also condition it and prevent it from eventually turning yellow. It will significantly extend the life of your rock guard. Plexus was initially developed to clean B-1 bomber canopies.

Hopefully this works. Guards aren't quite in correct position, should be about 1/2" higher. Have not removed factory ones yet.
