Default Protective sticker behind rear doors?

Where can I find the protective sticker that is applied to the lower section of the rear wheel wells just behind the passenger doors? All IS's have them from the factory it's basically a mini 3m clear bra that is applied in a small area to prevent rock chips and scuffs. The sticker on my passenger side is starting to come up and i'd like to replace it. I'm not even sure what the part is called.

Your local dealership should have it. Just ask them, mine is missing it on one side and they ordered it for me (they said they dont keep any in stock), i've just been to lazy to pick it up lol

I had that piece replaced before after body damage to that area. The body shop listed it as "quarter panel protector."

I wouldn't get the eBay stuff unless you know how to cut really well.

Nah i don't wanna do the whole bumper lol It's little scratches on the top part cuz i always am loading and unloading boxes for shipping cuz of work. I try and lift em as much but occasionally they rub on the rear bumper or a coworker drops it a bit and it scuffs that top part slightly

I went to the dealer and asked about that protective film because mine is scuffed and they wanted like $300+ to replace it. Lol

Sounds like you may benefit from havin it then. That is if the small scratches buff out. If they don't.... then ur still gonna see em LOL so I wouldn't bother.... I don't see very many boxes or anything comin in n out of my trunk. I just might peal off the ones behind the rear doors to since I very rarely have people in my back seat.

Thats because they probably didn't seal the edges, so they start to lift and trap dirt under them. To seal the edges you have to heat it with a heat gun (or blow dryer) after you lay down protector. I actually bought 3M door handle ones from ebay but haven't gotten around to installing them. Anyone with a wedding ring on their finger will scratch up the inside of the handle when they go to open the door.
