Mobile Install + Rust Defense Package
Offer on-site installation bundled with a wheel-well deep clean, surface prep, and clear, body-safe undercoating. Upsell new-truck owners and rust-belt drivers with before/after photos, a maintenance reminder schedule, and a limited warranty record. Fast installs via factory holes keep labor times tight and margins strong.
Fleet & Municipal Protection Program
Pitch delivery, utility, and municipal fleets on corrosion reduction. Provide bulk pricing, scheduled installs, seasonal wash-downs, and annual inspections. Track vehicles by VIN, keep spares on hand, and report on downtime saved from reduced fender/liner damage.
Dealer Accessory Bundle
Partner with dealerships to bundle protectors on new truck deliveries. Create trim-matched packages with mud flaps and basic rock lights, add them to finance menus, and share install revenue. Supply fitment guides and ready-to-go SKU kits so sales staff can confidently upsell.
Niche E-Comm Kits
Build an online store specializing in wheel-well protection: vehicle-specific fitment, install tools, stainless hardware, cleaning supplies, and optional lighting kits. Use detailed compatibility filters, quick video guides, and a 2-day ship promise to win the DIY customer.
Seasonal Salt Wash Club
Subscription service for winter markets: monthly undercarriage/wheel-well rinse, inspection, and protector touch-up. Offer a pre-winter install and spring de-salt detail. Add SMS reminders after snowstorms and family/fleet discounts to increase retention.

Rock-Light-Ready Liners
Turn the HDPE protectors into a clean mounting base for low-profile LED rock lights and wiring. Use the liner’s factory mounting points and add rivnuts or threaded inserts to the HDPE (not the body) for serviceable light mounts. Route a protected harness along factory holes, creating dramatic wheel-well illumination for night trail runs without drilling the truck.
Quick-Rinse Wheel-Well Wash Kit
Integrate a removable spray rail behind each protector to blast away salt and mud. Add small quick-connect mist nozzles and a hose tee that plugs into a garden hose or portable pump. The HDPE panel acts as a splash shield so water targets the right zones, making post-trail cleanup fast and helping prevent rust in winter climates.
Seasonal Splash Extensions
Create modular winter/spring extensions using flexible rubber or additional HDPE strips that attach to the protector’s lower edge with stainless hardware and captive clips. Pop them on for slush season to reduce sling and grime on doors, then remove for summer. No need to drill the truck—use the protector as the backer.
Aero Edge Skirts
Heat-form thin HDPE edge lips that fasten to the protectors to smooth airflow around the tire cavity on highways. Template the arc, maintain full tire clearance at lock and compression, and use replaceable push-clips so it’s reversible. A subtle, functional custom that can reduce road spray and may slightly improve highway efficiency.
Show-Truck Custom Finish
Dress up the wheel wells with color accents. Scuff and coat the protectors with a compatible textured liner or apply vinyl inlays, then add laser-etched aluminum badges fixed to existing holes in the panel. The easy-to-clean HDPE keeps the look fresh while the custom finish ties into the truck’s theme for shows and meets.
