Right on Spudder, and not only did they not guard agin the rocks, they were probably put there for some unluckey young fella like myself to cut a finger or snag the washing rag on! My Pa wanted the chrome shiney. Ps. I'll betcha you a whole heapa acorns that these little shiney strips won't be real easy to locate!!

these are just stainless trim i dont know if they have a unique name the large flat stainless pieces which you see alot of are called rock guardes, i dont know though how many chips they guarded againist since they were mostly above the running boards?
