Keep your eyes open. They show up eventually. I think my collection is up to 3 pairs.

Simple. Once they're installed, they're barely noticable, and they prevent stone chips and rooster tails along the side of your car.

I'm not a huge fan of how they look, but there's NO WAY I'm letting my paint get chipped up.

I have the rear ones on my car, took off the fronts when I bought it.
I keep them to protect the paint as well...

For a while they were going for $40/pair, but the last few sets that I saw went for less. Be patient and you'll do ok.

I'm not a huge fan of the look of them on mine, either, to be honest... but I'm leaving them on (been there since it was new) because they keep the paint so nice on the rockers...

Anyway, here's a pic - I believe these are the ones he's looking for...
