Yea, I kinda thought the paint “may” get scraped up with those clips. I also thought a piece of PPF on the underside of the fender may prevent a potential rust issue. For a lot of people, their cars don’t see moisture unless its getting washed. Or, they move on to another car. So probably not a big deal for most.
