Those protectors look neat, where are they from? I've seen some that stick out a bit like a lip, but I prefer the flush ones.

You can always see smart repairs.

I think I would go with this looking where it is.

I had front and back bumpers resprayed last year. Probably done less than 2k miles since then and there are already a few little scratches on the fang that side that bug me when I'm cleaning the car. But the rest of the time no one will ever notice them.

Never been!

I'm the "factory" sort of fella.
Thanx! It's custom yes, and rubber much like later 911's. Actually more of a spoiler than a splitter. Handy with speedbumps. Totally settles the front end on Autobahn, just baffled by it.

Thanx, agree! They are too custom, not hard to replicate tho:

“Fang protectors”? I’m very interested in finding out more about this, as I plan to have my front bumper refurbished at the end of this season Argenta
