Having driven my truck on gravel I am finding that the lower front portion of the rear fender really takes a beating from stones chipping off the paint.  What is the best way to protect it?

I've inquired about running boards, but not sure if the tubular variety would give sufficient protection.  One store had an alluminum extrusion that could be cut to go wheel-to-wheel, but I'd have to loose my front mud flaps and use their generic ones.  Any info (with brands and prices if possible) would be appreciated.

go to your closest dealer and ask about that 3m tape, alot of manufacturs higher a company to put it on the front of there vehicals, im sure that they can make if for the fender flares.

ya i had the 3M protection  done to my 01 prelude, about 4 years ago. Realy miss that car, but somthin had to fund the 300zx...  the kid was precut, and looked amazing, realy gave the car that high end expencive look... at the time the only dealers were bmw and mercadies ... factory, not aftermarket. Just the other day, i saw a White F350 with the protection film along the whole bottom of the truck, and like all White f350's it turned orange from the rusting brake dust that stained it... so buyer beware, dont get  a product that can stain...
