Default Best source for black stone guards?

I’m in the middle of doing a full paint correction and ceramic coating on my 911, and would like to get black stone guards.

anyone know who makes the best ones? (I know they really aren’t that complicated, just want to do it right the first time)

thanx

Pretty sure I got mine from Suncoast. They are nice but oddly enough were not the same size as the factory clear ones on my car. They ended up being about 1.5” shorter. Not an issue if you’re pulling the old ones off.

I don’t feel like they’re truly black. They can’t really get wet so you have take them off every time it rains or you wash the car. I just think the real thing is better.

This is where I found mine, and at this price, you can buy a couple of sets for future replacements!

I picked up my black stone guards from KI Studios. They are located in San Diego. I've had them on the car for 2-3 yrs now and they look great.

I also have the black Magnagrafik ones on my 997 and they are great! Mine look like carbon fiber. After the crap I went thru to remove the old clear factory product which had been on the car for years, magnetic is the way to go IMO.

I sent in a request to Magangrafik in August (an order, actually). It took weeks to get a confirmation, and when I responded, they went dark. I'm not sure they are doing much anymore these days.

Read the entire thread and then ask again (if necessary).

Hi guys I couldn't find magnetic guards either, so I started making them for myself and friends. I have 991, and 997 so far. Close to having 993, 964, & 911 G body. PM me if interested.


My 991.2 with deep black MagnaFin, $100 for set. Fits all 991s (except turbo, still working on those).


My 991.2 with Matte Black MagnaFin, with or without logo $150



Carbon Fiber on GT3 touring $150 (note this is 997 shape, but it fit, 991.2 shape shown on all other pics)


991 Black matte MagnaFin shown on GT3 touring: $150, fits all 991s (except turbo, still working on those)


Top: black vinyl $100. Bottom: Black Matte (printed so $150 with or without logo) Note: pre-production thus rough edges


Top: Deep black, $150 with logo $100 without, Bottom: Matte Black (printed so $150 with or without logo)
