Default Magnetic Body Armor

Does anyone know who makes those panels that go over doors, to protect the paint when trail riding? I assume they are magnetic.

Unless your doors are super clean before you apply them you'll tear up the clear coat. And other than saving your paint from branch scrapes (where I see the "armor" flying off anyway unless it wraps around the door) they won't save you from a solid hit. Real armor is bolted or pop-riveted on. I'd stay away from anything temporary.

Yeah I remember hearing about them too. 3m? Regardless, wouldn't call it armor. Just gonna prevent pinstripes at best. Not gonna protect hardtop (scratches way before paint does) or softop windows. Of course I always try to strip those off to wheel

Yeah, I wasn't kind to my hard top and so I bed-lined it inside and out. The thing is darn near bullet proof now.

I remember them. They're called "trailskinz".
And yes, they are magnetic.
