Default Source for NB OEM stone guards?

I have heard that these are no longer available. Anyone know if this is true?

i'd pass on OEM. At this point I doubt you could find anything but new old stock and the old films yellow and crack with age. Find a local clear bra installer and get new ones out of better more modern films. Guy I found in Atlanta had software with templates and laser cutter. They look perfect and installed for iirc ~150$

Hi Onami,
3M Stone guard material is available in small rolls on eBay to do both guards. Make a paper tracing pattern from one of your guards and just cut it out with scissors in the 3M material. If the shape is not exactly the same as the originals or one on the other side of the car does not match exactly there is no way to tell once the guards are on the car.
A great first time DIY project to remove the old and apply the new:

[sarcasm on] Onami, since you are obviously new to 993s and don't know what you want. [sarcasm off] It looks like OEM are still available. Left side for the NB is 993-559-325-04 3YK. A quick search shows they are are available from some Porsche dealers and Pelican.

Edit: Now that I have tried and failed to be funny. I was not able to quickly find the PN for the right side. Maybe it is NLA?

Thanks.

Late last night I read on a number of sites that they are NLA for NB cars. So, I posted here at 11:30 pm because my dealer was closed and figured someone here would have the scoop. I checked on the post as I ate breakfast this morning and no one had posted any info on OEM, so I called the dealer when they opened and you are right, they are available, but only in clear and black. I ordered a set of clear ones and they will be here on Tuesday.

Thanks for posting the part numbers!

I spent about $50 to do the total job for both sides of the car. Inexpensive way to make the car look new....

I have been using Clearmask for over 15 years for my fender guards.........have not found anyone that can beat their price for this quality of film...the thickness is as good as any on the market for protection.........Clearmask.com.......

From $22 to $31 for each side for 3M Aeroguard film, SunTek, LLumar/Eastman........

I change my clear fender guards every 3-5 years whether they need it of not on my white car........VERY easy to remove and apply.......I use a hairdryer and adhesive remover....

My ‘95 is Polar Silver and the original guards were like 3 shades lighter than the car when I got it. They looked terrible.

Kenny from Automobile Associates in Canton CT removed them, paint corrected the area to perfect and replaced them with one of the new high tech protective films. The improvement is remarkable.

At the same time he replaced the rubber gaskets around my door handles. It’s amazing what sorting out the little things do for the overall look of the car

I wanted to try a satin black set so I ordered a clear set from FD and had my vinyl guy use them as a template to make me as many satin black sets as I want for cheap. I extended on to rocker for added protection
