but yes after installing, as MKVIIST said, go over to whoosh motorsports and get some laminex protection film. It comes in clear if you don't want to change the color scheme. I live on a terrible road where rocks are a real threat to the car. I have managed to keep rocks from hitting the side with mudflaps, and from taking out my fogs with the film. You can actually see where rocks have hit the film, glad I had it, its worth the 15 bucks.
