I think it's cool because it says Jeep. That's about it. Completely useless.

Meant as paint protector i think, from highway debris.

In practice it probably just traps moisture.

Also ugly imo

Those end up doing more harm than good over time. If you want protection or just like the looks mask off the area and spray some plastidip. It's kinder to your paint and you can easily remove it.

Mine came with one so I just left it on. Doesn't do any damage so far and there are less bugs to scrape off too

I used one for a few months. You can buy it from me $40 shipped.
EDIT: Just saw you're in Canada. Not worth the hassle.
