I love this look of the black stone guards. Where did you source these from? Suncoast?

Car looks great and the silver accents really make the blue pop.

But man, I would remove that front bumper protector, its really an eye sore even though it serves a purpose..

The car looks great.

I added the Speedster stone guards to my 997 also. Really like the look and it's really easy. PS Make sure you get the Porsche stone guards. They are very heavy duty.

here's a vid on how to remove the clear stone guards:

Putting the new ones on requires a hair dryer / heat gun (on LOW), plastic squeegee, soapy water solution spray and patients...

I don't have the clear one on my car
but there is a video on youtube that shows how to remove the clear one, that guy just use a heat gun and peel it off.
1. clean the area you want to apply
2. mix soap and water in a spray can, spray on the guard area.
3. peel off the guard from the wax paper and spray on both side.
4. apply the stone guard and use a squeegee to work out all the air bubbles.
5. I use hair dryer to finsh the edge and let it dry.

+1 Suncoast is a great sponsor for this forum but their shipping charges are unreasonable. They want $9.29 to ship a $9.95 foam Porsche mouse pad 100 miles. Or I can get it next day air for $28.92!

The front plate frame is called bumpershox
It basically protects my front bumper and the rear bumper from the car which is parking in front of me
Got it, I am originally from Long Island so I get it. Sucks you have to put that thing on, but better than a jacked up bumper.

Looks good. I just did mine. Got them from eBay so not as good as sun coast and won't line up so far down without a heat gun Going to order the ones from sun coast now that I know I can install them properly.

Heat gun is a key for guard and clear bra
I did my whole front by myself when I got the car
It took me a whole day to finish the clear bra job

I was debating about doing it for the last 2 yrs. This season I will change mine to the black ones. The good thing is, if you dont like it, its a quick fix.
