Could use these as the road to my house is always full of rocks/pebbles. Any other experiences? Looks like they don't really help at all.

Looks like he has aftermarket rim/tires, probably stick out more than stock. Trust me that would be much worse without the mud guard.

This guy just needs a subaru mudflap.

I believe they help some, plus they're not to expensive and add a nice subtle CF look to your car. You're not going to see a dramatic difference but I can tell there is one, especially after a rainy day or longer road trip on my white paint.

agreed with white I can definitely see where they they are helping. I like them a lot, seem to have held up well. I have a friend who has the F sport GS ask me about these and how nice they look.

Thecarbonguards run a little wider and longer.

These are our Version 2 guards for the GSF. Bullets garage was the first one to get them as they’re based largely off his custom request.

Both versions are now available on our website depending on how much protection / subtlety you’re looking for.

I was able quickly install the front guards. For the rear do we need to drill into the metal body of the fender. Any concerns with rust/warranty invalidity etc?

I highly recommend attaching the rear set with the included hardware or using your own screws.

Zero concerns about rust - bullets garage has had them on for three years with no issues. I’ve had my set on for over a year with the same result. I can’t imagine any way these would void your warranty.

I just placed my order cause I need them pretty bad with my offsets.
I already have version 1 installed but not enough protection against little rocks.

V1 is good for stock setup. V2 on stock imo sticks out too far, kinda looks ridiculous. The notched corner doesn't look as good as the more subdued corner on the original carbon guards. With a bit more refinement, I think the V2's would look better.

You're actually drilling into the plastic bumper. No rust concerns at all.
