protection to the seals/stanchions
Yeah this is part of what put me off getting the 3d printed guard for the helm. I think it's possible that, without the wing/flap protruding down, it could actually direct more muck onto the seal/stanchion area than it would with no mudguard at all.
Its the zip ties used to install the other fenders that put me off, they eventually leave marks on the fork legs

Genuine Q: Why would you choose a carbon mudguard over a cheapy plastic one? They look flipping cool but I think I'd prefer something less stiff for when the inevitable stone or twig gets caught and sends you OTB.
Also, those crown mount guards don't seem to offer any protection to the seals/stanchions which is the main part of having a guard IMO
