I'm a proud new owner of a 2017 STI! I noticed how the rockers are pretty wide under the doors and my OCD has me worrying that the paint is going to get all scratched up from the wife getting in and out. I thought I'd lay some clear vinyl down on both sides to help protect just in case. I don't want cheap vinyl that will yellow over time. Does anyone recommend one brand over any others? Thanks!

I would ask at the dealer. They offer various clear bra and paint protection options that work well. Mine has a clear vinyl guard in front of the rear wheel well that has stopped many a rock chip. I would say they would have the insight on a rocker guard.

3M or XPEL are prob your best bet

SunTek is excellent; it's on my '17 WRX and had it, happily on previous cars. And cheaper than XPEL.

thank you guys. I'll note those brands. I figured if I could just get a small 5" roll or 5" x enough to cover under the doors i'll just round off the corners to give it a cleaner look and apply. I'm sure if the dealer has anything it's going to cost more. Thank you all again!

What I would do is exactly what you suggested madmaxxed, buy a roll off of Amazaon, watch a few videos IF you have not applied such a product before, and save yourself some money.
