Is it hard or soft? Almost looks like it's made of foam?

I would not call it soft, but it is flexible. If you pressed it hard with your thumb or a ladder - it would not leave an imprint. Definitely not ABS though.

What UV protectant did you use?!

This stuff. Same brand as the waterless wash/wax that I like.

Thank you.

I requested one off of Vine a couple weeks ago, with it scheduled to arrive by next Weds. Looked very protective, although I don't expect to lean items against the cab, it might be a remote possibility. - I sort of like the 'tough' look, and have their lower door protective panels as a Christmas Gift already installed.

The black trim pieces seem to fit the truck, given the door frames, lower trim, and other parts are also black.

I installed it for that “rough” look. The person pulling up behind sees the teeth of a snarling hippo or a meth addict. Either way they’ll think twice before tailgating my little truck grrrr.

My latest 3M Tape mod. $29 paint protection strip if you have to lean/carry ladders etc in your Maverick work truck.

My Lobo isn’t a work truck, but I’m ditching the SoCal lowered street truck look for a more rugged SoAz ranch hand look grrrr.

Nice. You and I think alike.
I'm printing some similar mods myself.
Once I get it dialed in with PLA will probably make the final edition in PETG.

I want one with magnets that I can just slap on when I'm gonna haul a board or something long, then pop back off.

Good idea. If I make it, will you buy one? Er.... a pair? Due to printing size limits will need a right and left one.

Can't say for sure without seeing what you come up with, but if the price is comparable I would be interested.

I’ll never use it’s intended purpose - leaning stuff against it. Instead, I’m going for a transformers style Maverick trying to be a Tacoma haha. Air Design hood scoop on order - you’re going to love that I bet

That’s Sweet!
Be sure to post pics after you get the hood scoop installed, my friend.
Hey, You should consider putting this cool Flag Decal on the hood scoop!!!

While some people may not find it aesthetically pleasing, it does look highly functional.

I can think of a lot of things that I might want to haul that would bump into the cab and scratch it up. This Knobby Roof cap would add functionality. I give it a thumbs up.
And when my Redneck friends ride standing up in back of the truck they would have something to grab onto and be less prone to spilling their beer.

Not something I'd ever put on my truck.

Looks cool, looks functional. I just hauled an extension ladder. Leaned on my tail gate with a small rubber Matt protecting the tailgate top and two ratchet straps securely holding it down.
I just don’t like to ‘stick’ things on my vehicles.

That’s a critical point for air flow, I’d bet it screws your already limited aerodynamics up even more.
Any wind noise at big speeds ?
