    I'm looking for some options to protect my bedsides from dings and scrapes. I know HC bumpers are one option. Are there others?

    I've seen GOAT's stuff before. Certainly an interesting idea, although I don't know if it would protect against door dings since I have no idea what it's made of.

    Edited to add:
    Also, it seems that leaving constantly leaving magnetic armor attached will result in pinholes in the factory paint, which means rust. Not good.

    It can’t be left on all the time as it is. Has to be pulled at cleaned every week.

    Personally not a fan of goat armors designs. Do they have basic colors like black or something? The camo just screws "hey look at me"

    Edit: see that they offer black now. Strange how it cost more than the designed patterns.

    Yep, that's what I read. I'm looking for a more permanent solution, something that's "fire and forget."
