tape near back wheel arch

The tape on the front outside of the back wheel arch. I understand this is merely there to stop stone scratches.

Any idea how much it costs and where to get it?

Don't worry, I found a supplier. It is about $60 to $70 fitted in the right colour.

Isnt it clear? Its basically a piece of the 3M clear Bra. Why do you need more of it?

The reason I ask is because I was thinking of getting some and putting similar pieces on the rocker panel direcly behind the front and rear wheels.

It could be clear, I was just told the phrase "the right colour". Maybe it comes in tints?

Hmmm ... just looking at the piece of paper I have :

LHR DOG LEG CLEAR DECAL part number FE10504R1A, list price
$68.09 AUD.

So yes, it is clear.

I love the "right colour" marketing term for clear. ROFL!

I have seen the clear bra stuff on a US car last year. It would appear to be the same stuff.

Taka, we not too worried about how often you wax it. That is your business. We are more worried if you keep you car clean. bahahahaha.

Cheers,
Hymee.
