930 Stone chip guards ??

[speed964]

My 87 930 is currently having a glass out re-spray back to original Silver. I am updating my cars' look with Yellow Bird turbo bumpers.

My questions is should I leave the stone guards off the car for a sleeker look?

I have seen a few 930's with 964/RSR bumper cover updates and the car looks good with and without the stone guards.

Should they be replaced or leave them off?

I would either leave them on or get clear bra in that area only for protection. Unless you want the patina of road rash on those hips

Nah - put them back on after paint. Just the classic look.

Wait a while though to check out how you like it without.

How about magnetic stone guards? -J

Speed,

I've been having this precise debate myself. I have almost exactly the same car as yours cosmetically albeit a factory Turbo Look. The P.O. just did a full silver respray and I have almost the identical wheels.....

I don't want to put the spats on. It is the classic look but I like to be a bit different and prefer the sleeker look too.

I figured I just leave them off but when I drive in any kind of dust or water tons of "stuff" collects on those hips. No rock chips yet but it's coming.

I asked Joe Bob about it but he said that all of the clear material yellows eventually.

Here's the car that inspired my desire to leave them off.....good luck on your decision. Post some pics when you finish please?

BTW: If you look closely you notice a faint "Turbo" stripe starting at the H-4 and headed aft.
