I installed the Rally Armor version and I like them. Easy on, uses existing holes and Rally made a set for me with Yellow writing. They’re fine in all truck heights. If you hate splash guards, then you’ll likely hate these. If you are okay with splash guards and want to protect your vehicle a bit more, RA’s version is pretty good.

If you say a big no to mud flaps then tell me how am I supposed to protect my paint from the road rash also how am I supposed to protect my black plastic from getting pulverized with rocks and making it all pitted?

If you don't care for these functional flaps, you could go with the largely useless, low to no coverage, but sexy as hell brazilian models.

Ask me how I know.

There are also those of us that stopped playing the efficiency game. Installing these and blocking those aero holes keeps my quarter panel and door panels so much cleaner.

TWraps- Large Rivian mudflaps
Did you just cover up the hole or you put the whole mud flap on there? Do you think the hole is what makes the road rash on the black plastic and the paint? What's your opinion on the matter?

That mudflap is designed to cover up the aero hole. That is specifically why I researched and bought that one. I very much feel the hole allows road debris to kick up onto the paint and that lower part of the quarter panel and door. The lower part of the mudflap protects the plastic cladding a bit more but not perfectly.
