I'd like to use these on/off for long trips or when the roads are particularly dirty (like early spring) since I prefer the look of the car without splash guards. My concern is scratching to the metal and potentially rusting over time. Can I / should I coat the inside of the lip with something to prevent or protect scratches?
We've had them on our 2010 since new and haven't had any problems at all, I wouldn't worry about it.
