This is what I had done here in ft.myers there is a place called ultra sheild and they use the 3M product, it actually has a clear coat to it so it's very hard to tell it's there. I asked the guy how it holds up if rocks were to hit my fenders because my tires stick out so wide? and he then picked up a hand full of rocks out of the planter in front of the building and threw them at his toyota 4 runner that has the 3M material all over the the grill and bumper, it didn't leave one mark I was impressed, so I had my rear fenders, bottom of my doors and a quarter of my front fenders done, $300 bucks I think it's worth it!

Re: Rear fender protectors???
I'd like to see a pic of the diamond plate! It would serve two purposes.
1) Protect the Fiberglass rear fender flare. No worry about repainting or re-taping.
2) Look great.

Re: Rear fender protectors???
Nice diamond plate site but I wonder if they have it in black? Otherwise, diamond plate is easy to get a hold of....
I'd like to see photos of that 3M product applied as well.
I had the black, slightly rough, chip coat spray applied to my Explorer. It held quite nicel and was great fro the lower doors, rockers, etc. But I am not sure I'd want to spray that onto the front of the fender.....
Oh - and I already have the 33s.

No pics, it's clear and very hard to see even close up in person, it's applied like window tint so you have to let it sit in the sun for a couple of days then sometimes there are air bubbles but they take care of them in about a week, if the sun eventually doesn't, kind of nice it's like adding an extra layer of clear coat on the truck!

I've got this same stuff on the wife's white one. It has the OEM mud flaps, but on my black one it's not needed with the Husky mud flaps which are wider. Both of the H3's have adventure package and stock tires.
