Thats why you park as far away from the entrance to Walmart. Not many people park that far. I park about 4 miles away from the entrance.

The reason i took them off is because they were faded/discolored and didnt match the paint, other wise i would have left them on because i want to keep it as stock as i can.
The paint underneath looked great, my car only has 22k miles and is garage kept so fading isnt really an issue. I just cleaned it up with quick deatailer then claybar/waxed the bottom part of the car.
Thanks for the comments!
Okay nice! I wonder how it would work on mine since its repainted.
