If you just hafta have 'em, the ones like Cliff has are what I'd choose, if I were ever to do it again. But, there is another kind that more than a "flap", but rather a 3-dimentional guard that shapes back behind the flap and actually comes in contact with the paint. Those...I don't recommend (not if you care for the paint at all!)
Yes, I'm aware of the clear plastic tape you're supposed to place on the paint to isolate the plastic guard from the paint. However, dust collects inside and naturally gets down uder the edges of the guard and in short order has "burned" through the protective plastic tape and into the paint.
(Damn things went right into the primer!)
3M makes a clear paint shield intended for protecting the paint on the rockers aft of the wheels. I've not tried it, but that seems to me to be the better approach. (We kid (a little) about not driving in the rain as Corvettes will melt. Well, they might not melt, but I'm just as adamant when it comes to NOT driving on gravel!
