Chip guard ugly yellowing
I have a white 4s and the qtr panel chip guards are yellowed. Are they worth replacing? How long before they turn yellow again?

I have white and did mine, see link... I guess it depends on the conditions as to how long before they turn yellow again... Sun, wax, heat etc may all effect this.

Black would look good with old school black and aluminum rimmed wheels. Just cant picture it though with these stock wheels.

How fast will new clear yellow?

Premier replaced mine for about $200 or so a few years ago and they still look great.

It bothers me every time I looked at it do it was worth it.

Give it a year or two and you will notice it yellowing again. Maybe there is a different brand thatdoes noot yellow as fast. Try xpel or those premier brands who make the clear bras

I should have done the same but they are cheap so did not think about it much. Now i look back and really should have gone the warranty way.

unfortunately, the 'yellow' is more noticeable on white Pcars.

OP - go with clear or black stone guard.. they both look great on white.
