Default Rocker Armor, what do you think after installation?

I was thinking of linex or bed lining the bottom of my doors and rocker panels due to little kids feet kicking and scuffing and a previous owner paint blemish on the lower door.

I decided to try this stuff out first and see if I like it. It's basically thick textured tape kind of like very thin kydex. Goes on with 3M tape and costs a few bucks over a Benjamin. What do you think of the look? I like it better than the paint scratches I was getting.

Yeah I like it!.

It really looks like you should have taken the photo from the other side of the Jeep. That sunset reflecting in your windows is beautiful. Would have been a nice background.

But the Rocker Armor should hold up well and it looks like it will clean up a lot easier than bed-liner will.
Just have to see about the long term exposure test. As long as it don't turn all white.

Thanks.. I'll update after they are on a while and try to get some better light tomorrow. True that the other side is nicer though. Pike's peak in the background.

Where is this available? A quick Google search turned up no results for anything like this.

Bushwacker makes a stick on sill/rocker guard. But this also covers the doors, which I like.

I also like the rocker armor that Bushwacker sells. They don't come up as high, but the cover all the way down to the pinch seam.
