My 2014 C2S Pics Galore!

The look is great, but speaking from experience, it can really destroy your paint in time. Protect it with clear film. Do it now! And you'll probably want to replace the clear film annually as well since it will get pretty marred up.
Ahh, the price of coolness!

Uh oh. Hadn't thought about the wider stance causing paint damage due to gravel. I'll have to get the film done, then. Too bad I didn't know about it a few days ago when the car got a full clear bra. Probably would've cost less to do it then. Oh, well...

What damage are you exactly talking about? Are you referring to rear fender damage from debris from the front wheels? I wouldn't think the 7mm change would change much in terms of gravel escaping the front wheel well. Was yours more aggressive? I've never had a 911, so I don't know. Or are you talking about damage to the rear bumper from the very aggressive rear offset. From experience on my Mercedes with aftermarket wheels and spacers, I def get more dirt on my rear bumper but not damage from rocks/gravel.

My Cayman S is tracked a few times a year and gets severe road rash behind the wheels, front and rear, and inside the painted wheel arches. I have even had to replace the clear film it gets so roughed up. No spacers.
Here is a pic of my 993 wheel opening. You can't really see it but the entire inside wheel arch, from 12 o'clock to 4 o'clock is covered all the way out to the angle in the bodywork. I also have the rockers covered.
It's just an 'ounce of protection' thing.
