I don't like the fake carbon fiber vinyl on the outside of a car, IMO, it looks "added on" and boy racer. But the stuff is great to cure problems just like this. Even with the protection above, I still drag my foot on the frame rail getting out of the car. This stuff solves the problem - also cut it and use it to cover the safety stickers on the visors...simple application: peel and stick, then hit it with the hair dryer...peels off and leaves no residue if you don't like it. I'll replace this every 6 months. Here's where to get it - pick your color:
