Nah, j/k, would be a pretty cool idea if it works. The first pinstripe hurts, but gets much easier after that...

Actually 3M makes a similar product that is used as a mask or bra on motor homes.
It is a permanent install and is very durable. I have no idea how it is removed.
An INTERNET search or visit to the local RV shop should get you the details.

It's more of an issue in the winter than in the summer when I can keep a line and avoid most of the crap. I can't remember what I paid for them, but they're well worth it.

Seems like you would have to be careful not to trap any dirt between the paint and the stick on panels, or you would still get scratches.
Anyway, it is over 3 years too late for my Jeep.
I will just camo it when the paint is gone.

I found out I can buy a roll of flexible magnetic sign material 24" by 25'. I was thinking I could cut this to fit the sides of the jeep to stop the scratches. The trails around where I live are all overgrown and I really hate scratches in the paint.
Has anyone else tried this?

My buddy and I host a road rally and bought a roll of magnet stock off eBay for making the car numbers and rally plaques so we could re-use them. We've used them for a couple years now and haven't lost one yet on the highway. I think it would work fine. This one is about 18 x 8 and stuck to the doors and hood fine.

Talk with Pat Harrison on the Western Forum he is from Victoria, BC and sells these panels for a good price either black or have graphics. From what I recall black is $200 and the graphics $400 for 4 doors, He also sells the hood panels but can't recall on the price. Very good quality, no issues with lifting, Pat and 4doors drove there jeeps to and from the island with no panels coming off on the highway. Prices may have increased this year???
