Shoreman,.......let me wish you a warm welcome to IRV2, a wonderful site where you will learn things you would never dream of. As for your question about rear protectors, on my previous Pace arrow, it had the brush type two piece which worked well, my latest Southwind of 5+ years, has the solid rubber one with the lower chrome accents with reflectors. I've never noticed any damage to the toad from either one, only draw back I have is when backing the rig, which I have to do to turn around in our driveway, sometimes it scrapes on the ground and rubbing the bottom. Other than that, they do keep debri off of your toad. Good luck, and safe traveling down the yellow brick road.
