Welcome.
Sounds like you have stone guards / rock guards. Clear plastic or vinyl, about 0.25mm thick? You should be able to peel them off (gently) in you don't like them. However, depending on the age of your car, you may find the paint underneath a shade darker ... the paint fades on the rest of the body and the guard would have protected the factory color from UV.
The factory installs them to help protect those areas of the car.

Mills,

Welcome

, I have a friend in Kerikeri, New Zealand. Does that sound familiar or close to you?

You guys are sooo friendly! Yes, I have heard of Kerikeri but have never been there, it is in the North Island of NZ.. a long way away. My porsche is straight from the factory so Im guessing they did put those 'stickers' there but have never seen them on other Boxsters and they dont look nice.They are black like the car but very noticeable and ruin the look I think. Maybe I will peel them off.None of your cars appear to have them.
