    That's definitely a great idea, but I'm not sure if I want to stay white or use the black-on-white contrast. I kind of like the tuxedo, or Storm Trooper, look lol

    Just use white or clear PlastiDip.

    If/when it starts to look shaggy or discolored, just peel it back off. Reapply as needed.

    Black is available in the same product.

    I'm planning to do the white next Spring to replace the damaged "film" chip guards on the leading side of the rear wheel well.

    Thinking White, just because the 'Storm Trooper' look is over done IMHO. It also screams GEEK!!!

    Yeah, I went back and forth a few times in deciding how high to go. If I could show it to you in person, it would be very noticeable that it goes right up to the part of the door that sticks out the furthest - thus blocking 100% of flying rocks, which is really the functional purpose here. Going higher and following the body contours might look cooler on your truck than mine, since it would really contrast with the white paint!

    I had a mud flap get ripped off the truck and I drove for a few weeks without it. I got some rock chips in that time. Your concerns are valid. Goodluck with whatever you decide

    I'd do fill plates on the sliders instead of coating your lower truck.

    I had vinyl wrap on the bottom body lines for a while on mine to protect from gravel. 20210705_161026_HDR.jpg

    That is phenomenal!

    Curiously, where did you get your hood deflector?

    Thanks! That's an avs aeroskin I got on Amazon. It's not really a deflector as it doesn't stick up at all, it's more of a protective nose piece to keep from chipping up the front of the hood.

    Did you vinyl wrap the fenders too, or did they just clean up nice? Lol
