Do you realize that in about 30 (updated as requested) years, we'll have millions of old ladies running around with tattoos?

Interesting as protection vs show. Installation looks a bit taxing though. Price about $160.00 for set. Maybe worth it for high end and costly rims coupled with poor parking skills.

This is just a marketing gimmick, this will protect against nothing.

BFH - Big F'ken Hammer.   Would the product cause air leaks?   It might be easier to apply 3M film and get a couple of convex mirrors so you can see the sidewalk edge while parking.

It certainly would have protected you from that curb rash you had last year (or was it the year before? )
