The rocks hit everything in sight; inside wheel openings, headers, fender lips, wheel arches, cars behind you. I even get pebbles up on my intake manifold. Over time paint will get chipped and I suppose the glass could be affected underneath. Some manufacturers use a foam liner in the wheel wells to prevent any damage to the glass. My car is Rhino-lined in the wheel wells so I haven't seen any issues. I do have road rash behind the front wheels, on the leading edges/outer curves of my side pipes and in front of my rear wheels. If your car is a beauty queen and not a driver, these may not be for you.

But I am with Gary....the vintage look is unbeatable.
