Rear Wheel Magnetic Stone Guards

[Starter986]

Are those panels for aesthetics? I've examined my car and can't see for one minute how those would solve any (perceived) problem. Those sections on my car look like they don't know what is a rock or stone.

Why didn't you just go with the clear stuff... front end bra material?

Thanks.

That's a fair question. Two reasons:

1). It's a wink and a nod back to the 930 era. Their use there was a small detail that I've always thought looked sorta neat:



2). My car is Ocean Blue Metallic with a Metropul Blue interior. That's a whole big bunch of Blue going on, so I am always on the lookout for something which could serve to downplay that whole monochromatic vibe.

These guards are one of those deals where some folks will like their look, while others, perhaps, not so much. Which goes back to their whole magnetic (and thus, easily installed and removed) feature.

I figured that there was no downside to just give it a go.

Thank you, Dave.l Makes perfect sense. They do look great on those flared fenders and the historical "wink-and-a-nod" is appropriate.

The black does contrast nicely with that blue... and your ride looks great!

Have a great week!
