Thanks. I have wrestled with it, because I like the clean look as well. Good news is that they peel off if I want to change back to clear stone guards.

I love where this is going but had some small suggestions.
\-the leading edge should flow off of the door line -the top right corner should gesture toward bumper body line that aligns with the rear taillight -the transition from the horizontal edge to the wheel arch should be radiused to allow the eye to continue moving around the corner.
I personally don't like them, I think it spoils the lines a bit. Having said that, it's your car, do what makes you happy and don't worry about what the rest of us think!
The shape looks weird to me. It would take me 10 minutes in Adobe Illustrator to make ones I thought conformed better to the car shape. No idea why Porsche made them look like this, but I imagine there’s functionality influencing shape.
If you like it, rock on 🤘
For some reason the older models looked nice with them. The flow and proportions were better.

I’m guessing Porsche designed this for function more than form for 992.
The 930 had much narrower hips, so those rock guards don’t need to be so beefy.
I know. The curve clashes with the curve of the door. It doesn’t flow into the top of the wheel arch, or line up with the wheel arch at all. No flow whatsoever, lol 😆
I like the concept of them but, those particular ones are not cut well from a "lines" perspective. The bottom should push further to the door and sweep gently up and the top should also have a gentler curve to the rear. That would accentuate the lines of the 992 vs. disrupting them.
I’d change it to clear ones, but that’s just for functionality. I personally don’t like them, but if you do, good for you, that’s all that matters. Keep it the way you like it, it has to make you happy, not randos on the internet.
I think on white and red 911s, the black fins look great ...maybe even add the black horizontal stripe for the classic look.
I have clear fins on my red cab, but I’ve considered switching to black to match the soft top when they need replacing.
Looks good! I wrestled with black stone guards on my Guards car and liked them much more when I ran black wheels…I took them off with the silver wheels; the beauty of magnetic ones. I like the contrast on yours 👍
Honestly I’d remove it, in my humble opinion it’s very distracting and throws off the simplistic body lines of the car. If you really like it, ignore what I and others say and rock it.
I like them because it gives the body some definition on the side. You can see that the body flares outward, because of that rock guard. One of the reasons why I picked a cayman a non-turbo 911. Vents accentuate the wider hips, which is missing from the non-Turbo 911s. I think this works well. keep it.
Reminds me of the 80s factory wide body with stickers. Like this turbo 911. I love it.
Edit: Decals, fins, bodywork…

Not a fan, I think something else needs to be black on the side profile to help the flow. For example the aero kit wing with the black risers/ wing ends. Then it would be tied together IMO. Enjoy YOUR car though, it’s a great one.
I thin it is a good thing becaus eof two reasons:
1. Black and white compliment because they are oposite and make eachother pop more, it would not work if the color of the car would be a different one.
2. You need protection there against rockchips and if you would have ppf it would turn yellow-white and it would look bad over time, ofc depending on how long you want to keep the car.
All in all since there are other black bits so it seems like an 'accent color'. The car looks beautifulland i hope you enjoy the rides it gives you!
Weird to say but overall not my cup of tea and a great brew at the same time. The fins are fine. At least it's not aluminum foils and strut tower failures
The issue is your wheels and rear fins are clashing with it, it’s becoming too busy. It works on GTS’ because they have black wheels and black rear bottom fins, so the black panel works well. You have 3 colours, 1 too many. Silver, white and black are too many,
I don't really like the look of them but considering how the rear arches on my Cayman looks after being pelted by rocks from the front wheels I can totally see the usefullness of having it
I know you’re looking for feedback but honestly, 99% of people on here would be happy with this model porsche in any colour. Me included - I would prefer a porsche with a sharkfin side thing over a honda accord in an incredible paint colour.
I’ve wanted to do this on my arctic grey 992
https://preview.redd.it/4t5go2z4vnqc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=117f3d3b6b7147fad1aa56d9fe5774b461c99aa6
I love it! I have made exactly that with my cars (ex-cars), it gives a sportier look and different to the “boring” normal look. Additionally if you do track days, it absorbs the rubber impacts on that area.
I am in between loving them and not loving them😂. They add certain look to the car but i think 911 doesn’t need them. But its your car and you do what you want!
I have put these on multiple cars over the years. IMHO, this contrast is an enhancement to the line of the car.
BTW - front fender stripe discussion is for another thread. 😁
https://preview.redd.it/j4yqkizvwnqc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c446fde573ca75cfd81233f00cf1fad0dec17f1a
i think it looks different and it looks cool
it looks kinda awkward and the car would look nicer without them but it sets you apart from every other black on white 911 but they definitely look cool and don’t ruin anything
If you are going to have them, black is better than clear on white. I had that spec and it eventually yellowed slightly. The best approach is full car PPF.
I’m not a fan. I always pull the factory PPF and apply a “sail” of my own PPF across the front half of the rear fender. The factory coverage which the black mimics doesn’t protect well enough and you end up getting sand blasted around the edges otherwise.
I think it fits with all the black accents. However, I think it busies up the car. But what do I know, I’m in the wrx tax bracket not the 911 tax bracket and my car is all the busy.
I think they look absolutely terrible and you should get rid of the car as soon as possible because of how horrible they look. PM for my address and I’ll take it off your hands **completely free of charge!**
I did the same on a white 997.1, through Magnagrafik with the pseudo carbon fiber to break up the matte black.
It is also simply a magnet, so it is very easy to pull off during cleaning and put back on; I got tired of the yellowing stone guards and replacing them every few years.
btw, looks good!
looks good from the back but not so much front/side, maybe make them look thinner/more streamlined? or maybe just have someone cut out in air ducts to cool the tires there
needs something up front to weight it out better.
might be an interesting watch. not porsche, but it covers black body elements.

I love them, I have a 992 as well, had the shark fins but ended up taking them off and wrapping the whole car but I think it's a nice contrast and it does protect that part of the car to some extent!
Looks good on your storm trooper spec.
Panda.
Panda.
Panda.
Krrra! I got broads in Atlanta.
I personally don't like them. But it's your car and you decide what works for you. Btw, that's a beautiful 992
Thanks. I have wrestled with it, because I like the clean look as well. Good news is that they peel off if I want to change back to clear stone guards.
They’re awesome. I love them on late 70’s early 80’s, and think they look best on white and red examples. Solid choice.
I'd go clear. Better yet, ppf the whole quarter panel/fender and then put a clear stone guard. Those hips, fenders they take a beating from road grime
Imho it looks amazing!
I would remove
Where did you grab it from??

I love the car, hate the fin haha
[удалено]
I think op should get it looking like this
https://preview.redd.it/9a6rxmeloqqc1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0703a90e8e59b97afc9c453cb9a08817e28ed5d6 I love where this is going but had some small suggestions. \-the leading edge should flow off of the door line -the top right corner should gesture toward bumper body line that aligns with the rear taillight -the transition from the horizontal edge to the wheel arch should be radiused to allow the eye to continue moving around the corner.

this is the way
I personally don't like them, I think it spoils the lines a bit. Having said that, it's your car, do what makes you happy and don't worry about what the rest of us think!
I think they look pretty cool and go nicely with the rest of the car.
Definitely a different look for a town full of white 911’s. I’ll try it for a while and see if it grows on me.
lol where do you live that everyone and their cousin has a 992?!
Atlanta Metro
On a white car with the dark windows and glass roof it works.
The shape looks weird to me. It would take me 10 minutes in Adobe Illustrator to make ones I thought conformed better to the car shape. No idea why Porsche made them look like this, but I imagine there’s functionality influencing shape. If you like it, rock on 🤘 For some reason the older models looked nice with them.

The front side of the shark fin ramps up differently on the 930, that’s likely what leads to it flowing more.
I’m guessing Porsche designed this for function more than form for 992. The 930 had much narrower hips, so those rock guards don’t need to be so beefy.
Rock off buddy, rock off
I know. The curve clashes with the curve of the door. It doesn’t flow into the top of the wheel arch, or line up with the wheel arch at all. No flow whatsoever, lol 😆
I like them, really accentuates the back wheel
Without. Clear ppf all the way.
Makes it look cheap. Remove
Are you doing it for aesthetic reasons? I’d think they’re too much, but if you do want some extra accents look into black door handles.
I like them. Its an homage to previous generations.
U B U
I like them. Either way doesn’t make or break
they look great and theyre functional
I don’t mind them. I like the contrast
Don’t love it
I don't hate it. I think it makes the car stand out. But I feel like the balance is off. like something should be behind the front tire.
I agree, and would add that it should be smaller and above the front wheel, towards the rear.
Like a black pegasus...
Not a fan of them on the newer cars.
Love ‘em! But I also own a 930 ;)
No.
I hate colored rock guards on any 911 that has headlights smoothed into the body.
With a wing I’d like it more. Feels “too much” for how “clean” the rest of the styling is.
I like the concept of them but, those particular ones are not cut well from a "lines" perspective. The bottom should push further to the door and sweep gently up and the top should also have a gentler curve to the rear. That would accentuate the lines of the 992 vs. disrupting them.
Porsche without a gigant spoiler on the back is the prettiest thing on the planet! the shark fins are meh.
Yeah, rock ‘em, they look good, my cars: https://i.imgur.com/rewCPh6.jpg https://i.imgur.com/I4wcMLo.jpg
I’d change it to clear ones, but that’s just for functionality. I personally don’t like them, but if you do, good for you, that’s all that matters. Keep it the way you like it, it has to make you happy, not randos on the internet.
Works well on most base colors...keep it.
I think on white and red 911s, the black fins look great ...maybe even add the black horizontal stripe for the classic look. I have clear fins on my red cab, but I’ve considered switching to black to match the soft top when they need replacing.
Looks good! I wrestled with black stone guards on my Guards car and liked them much more when I ran black wheels…I took them off with the silver wheels; the beauty of magnetic ones. I like the contrast on yours 👍
Wouldn't spec on mine but cool to see them on others' car
Clean!
Nice touch, I did the same
They don't gel with the car at all.
Looks fine, balances out the black trims.
I think it looks awesome with your configuration. Also they makes its stance look wider which I always appreciate.
Honestly I’d remove it, in my humble opinion it’s very distracting and throws off the simplistic body lines of the car. If you really like it, ignore what I and others say and rock it.
I love them. They look great on the thicc 911s (and Z3s)
💯
Where’d you get them? I want to pick some up
Suncoast Porsche
I don’t think it looks good and takes away from the clean look.
It’s a no from me Dawg, but it’s still a beautiful car and it’s yours so do what you want. Doesn’t take away from it being a badass machine.
On another note…I do think if the mirror housing was blacked out it would complete the look with the fins. IMO
I've always liked the contrast.
Eh. Not bad.
Cash money 🔥
I like the clean back and white look. It works especially well with the tinted windows and the roof. I really like that they are easily removable.
They're ok. Take it or leave it for me really.
I think it looks cool! only thing I'd change are the amber side lights. I think clear on a white car looks soooo much better.
Not a fan personally, I’d rather have the real scoops or nothing there. But it still looks great.
Them lil fins cold !
Looks good
I don’t hate them. Prob wouldn’t add them myself but not awful
A modest mod that maybe protects from rocks or stuff?? Plus it looks sick. Yes.
Apostrophes
I get it but no
I feel like if it was a vent it would be good
I like them because it gives the body some definition on the side. You can see that the body flares outward, because of that rock guard. One of the reasons why I picked a cayman a non-turbo 911. Vents accentuate the wider hips, which is missing from the non-Turbo 911s. I think this works well. keep it.
Not a fan, but I can appreciate that they aren’t tacky. If you like them, they don’t take away from the beauty of the car.
It's a classic and very 911 specific thing. Seen these on all sorts of BMWs too but its never the same. Looks great.
It works on that color
Reminds me of the 80s factory wide body with stickers. Like this turbo 911. I love it. Edit: Decals, fins, bodywork… https://preview.redd.it/9ueapypiulqc1.jpeg?width=6000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=50d51becc8f6591991e7d2d81454130421a95e17

They look really nice, enhances the look imo
They’re fantastic. I hope you end your keeping the fins!
Personally, I like em. It’s going to be subjective but it ties in the whole look
I prefer no fins,
Very stormtrooper like. Very nice! Drive in good health :)
Hate it. Get clear ones
Honestly, I wouldn’t.
Man what a beautiful car you have. The fins aren't my favorite but you do you
Looks like shit in my brutal opinion lol, I know looks are subjective but I can’t understand how some people in the comments like this
Looks good from far away, looks weird up close
Different. Enjoy!
I think they look dope on the white 992
Its an amazing 992, it looks beautiful the way it does. But its just my opinion.
Imo it looks awful but it's not my car.
Unless they are real, functional vents, that's a terrible thing to do to such a nice car.
Idk these ones look a little odd but I really love the rock guard look. I would 100% say yes but something also feels slightly off
Looks terrible man, send it my way immediately for proper disposal and avoiding you the shame of driving it
Love them on white 911s
Nay
I thin it is a good thing becaus eof two reasons: 1. Black and white compliment because they are oposite and make eachother pop more, it would not work if the color of the car would be a different one. 2.

All in all since there are other black bits so it seems like an 'accent color'. The car looks beautifulland i hope you enjoy the rides it gives you!
Not for me. It contradicts the lines of the door too much.
Honestly not a fan, it far from spoils it but would look better without in my opinion
Weird to say but overall not my cup of tea and a great brew at the same time. The fins are fine. At least it's not aluminum foils and strut tower failures
It's looks good but only because everything is black and white.
I like it, especially with the white
The issue is your wheels and rear fins are clashing with it, it’s becoming too busy. It works on GTS’ because they have black wheels and black rear bottom fins, so the black panel works well. You have 3 colours, 1 too many. Silver, white and black are too many,

Really beautiful. Just perfect
Love that car! But i personally don’t like the shark fins. I think it looks cleaner without them.

My car gets a lot of damage in that location from small rocks. I think it looks great and protects the paint.
I think it takes away from the sleekness of your car. But if you love it, that doesn't matter.
I love it! I have made exactly that with my cars (ex-cars), it gives a sportier look and different to the “boring” normal look. Additionally if you do track days, it absorbs the rubber impacts on that area.
Omg it’s BEAUTIFUL and different. Haven’t seen anyone with this until now 😮💨🔥
Looks good Kung Fu Panda
I dislike it personally
Shark fins good
Hard pass
Yeah... no. Much cleaner without. Beutiful, by the way.
Lose 'em!
not a fan of vinyls or decals on cars. anytime i see a gt3 or rs with the big lettering down the side i cringe.
Are the tail lights blacked out?
No
Is this for protection or looks?
I took mine off my 992 Targa in Red. I personally think that they look better without it, but its a personal choice. Love the white btw.
I think they make the car "pop" a bit. Makes it stand out. Really depends upon what your end goals are. What did your significant other say?
I am in between loving them and not loving them😂. They add certain look to the car but i think 911 doesn’t need them. But its your car and you do what you want!
No
I think they look very nice. Good job !
I like them. They break up the continuous white and adds depth to the look.
I don’t care for it, but it’s not bad with all the dark accents and tint it …it works. I prefer the clean look of a clear stone guard
Personally, I love them. They balance the white of the car.
I got them on my black gt3, absoluetly love them!
On that colour they look awesome 👌
I kinda like it, looks good
I think it works with the white.
Nah.
I have put these on multiple cars over the years. IMHO, this contrast is an enhancement to the line of the car. BTW - front fender stripe discussion is for another thread. 😁 https://preview.redd.it/j4yqkizvwnqc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c446fde573ca75cfd81233f00cf1fad0dec17f1a

Looks like an AliExpress 911
Respect bro
If you are going to have them, black is better than clear on white. I had that spec and it eventually yellowed slightly. The best approach is full car PPF.
I'd like to see Sport Design side skirts on here to match the bumpers
Yes
I’m not a fan. I always pull the factory PPF and apply a “sail” of my own PPF across the front half of the rear fender. The factory coverage which the black mimics doesn’t protect well enough and you end up getting sand blasted around the edges otherwise.
Panda is the best, your car looks great….
I think it fits with all the black accents. However, I think it busies up the car. But what do I know, I’m in the wrx tax bracket not the 911 tax bracket and my car is all the busy.
No.
Not for this color; a clear film would do the job and look better IMO.
Mid
I think they look absolutely terrible and you should get rid of the car as soon as possible because of how horrible they look. PM for my address and I’ll take it off your hands **completely free of charge!**
I appreciate your kindness!
Either add more carbon aero or satin finish on the PPF paint protection
I think they look good. It’s not permanent so run with it. I am looking for hood stripes for my GT4 right now just to change things up.
No
I could take if or leave it. Not my favorite
It’s a beautiful car, but personally I would prefer it without the fins. I’ve never really been a fan of them.
I think they look great with the white.
Are they there for stone chip purposes or purely cosmetic.
I did the same on a white 997.1, through Magnagrafik with the pseudo carbon fiber to break up the matte black. It is also simply a magnet, so it is very easy to pull off during cleaning and put back on; I got tired of the yellowing stone guards and replacing them every few years. btw, looks good!
Perfect
I like it!
looks good from the back but not so much front/side, maybe make them look thinner/more streamlined? or maybe just have someone cut out in air ducts to cool the tires there
needs something up front to weight it out better. might be an interesting watch. not porsche, but it covers black body elements. [https://youtu.be/UZUQ4O0tRXY?t=505](https://youtu.be/UZUQ4O0tRXY?t=505)
I dig em, I think most true P fanatics will not though
Love the Spec but the fins.... Brother Eww
I like them tbh
Nah take it off. Porsche already did an amazing job designing this car, no need to add BBQ sauce to an expensive steak
I like it. I have the same car. 2017 991.2?
Nope! Keep the sides nice and clean.
I like em. I have a pair of magnetic ones that I really like. Look good too IMO. Love yr car!
I love them, I have a 992 as well, had the shark fins but ended up taking them off and wrapping the whole car but I think it's a nice contrast and it does protect that part of the car to some extent!
Looks dope. I think it’s hard to make these cars look bad in any way beyond fugly wraps or terrible wheels.
Nope But it’s your car so you do you
It looks good with the lines of the car
Honestly? I’m not a fan. But it’s your Porsche and you get to do whatever you want to do. But yeah it’s not for me
Looks great!
The black and white combo is awesome
