The side skirts keep rocks and road debris off the rockers and the sides of the car. You can sometimes hear the rocks hitting the underside of the side skirts while driving down the road. The 1LEs wide and sticky tires pick up all kinds of stuff off the road. Most any side skirts that fit the 1LE would offer similar protection.

In my opinion the combination of rock guards and side skirts provide a great deal of rock chip protection on a 1LE. So much so that you don't need additional PPF on the sides of the car.
