If you are at all handy, you can make your own. I rolled some sheet aluminum into an appropriate curve, attached some kevlar and mounted it without having to drill any holes in the body. The last part was tricky, I don't have any pix for that but it can be done. Ten years on the car now and no chips. They are almost unnoticeable. That aftermarket stuff, not so much.

I doubt he drives it in the mud. And he already has flares. I think it needs a couple of "Keep on Trucking" stickers on the mud flaps!

I have a set of these, front n rear.
They clip on with small little "horseshoe" like spring steel clips to the inside lip of the guards.
They are not very noticable when new, but are once they've gotten stone chips and grime on them.
I traced around them so I could make spares of I ever lost them.
The clips are/were also sold separately.
