The once-clear stickers just ahead of the rear fender well at the bottom of the door?

What are they called? Was also thinking about using some vinyl wrap. Just need to get them cut.

There are probably much cheaper options out there that don't include the rocker panel but here are some options:

You could probably find some on eBay that aren't pre-cut.

I have them, too, and for the last two years I've been increasingly and uncomfortably aware of how they've faded into yellow. Which sucks, because my car is Moonlight White, so it's noticeable. On top of that, grime works its way into the edges, creating a solid outline which is no bueno.

It's on my list for this Summer. Last year, my local tint shop quoted me an inexpensive replacement but I misplaced the notes. IIRC, they wanted something like $50 give or take.

Just find a tint shop and get it taken care of. No big deal.

OEM Rock Guard/Protectors

See post #7. The OEM ones are not cheap considering what they are. Probably be best to find aftermarket alternatives...

I had these on my RX8 (pearl white) and they were nasty as heck after 5 years. Had a minor accident and they had to repaint the passenger side and didn't replace the rock guard... looked SO much cleaner. Never had issues with rock chips or anything. had them remove the other side too.
