How often does a car pull off into the gravel in front of you? $300 is
worth the cost of not having to stop an pull the damn thing off every
time it rains and then put it back on again. And I can't be the only
list member to think that these things are the ugliest automotive
accessory ever invented. I was of the opinion that people bought these
to cover up existing damage, not prevent it.
