[Good 4 2 reasons]

This has probably been discussed in earlier threads, if so please link to it, but what about covering the glossy black rocker panels in a vinyl wrap (like 3m) that matches the paint color, assuming a close match is available?

I do not see any universe in which the glossy black plastic isn't absolutely covered in swirl marks within the first year, especially if you live in an area with winter weather, dirt, etc.

I have black sapphire metallic and I am hoping I could get the rocker panels wrapped and have something that matches the body color and will be easier to maintain than the black plastic.
