What are they called and where to buy?

Sorry for not knowing but I want to replace the "protection sticker thing" that my car has on the mirrors and the "hips" behind the doors.
My car is Carrera White and they have gotten a little yellow + they are dirty on the edge...

Can someone please help?

Go to suncoastparts.com and search for Clear Stone Guard
Code: 997TTCFILM.

The mirror protection is probably paint protection film (3M or venture shield). Also known as clear bra.

Hope that helps.

Do you guys take them off to get a more clear look or do you keep them on for protection?

Honestly I think it looks a little sh.. :-(

I would rather they look like crap than the paint under them. Just replace them.

The factory stone guards arent very nice interms of looks. I am not sure what film they use but there are better films out there than will make them much less visible. Still better to have film on there than chipped up paint... and that is a very high prone area to chipping.

Check with your Porsche dealer or maybe somebody here with experience in aftermarket (3M or Ventureshield) applications can recommend a local company that does this. It will be better than the oem material.
