Bumper and door sill protectors - do they really help protect?

[Mrmike]

On my '23 OBX, I bought the factory bumper protector. It was easy to install, looks great, and has held up very well. For the door jambs I went a different route. I did not like the factory ones and felt they were very expensive. Instead, I bought a 12' roll of 2" wide safe way traction tape on Amazon. You can cut it to any length, apply, and forget it. I had enough to do both of my vehicles.

I bought some cheap carbon fibre simulated strips. They cover more area and were easy to install, just needed a little heat to stretch on the curves.
