Seems to me it would be easier to just tape off the area and paint the pinch seam black with a textured paint like the AEV paint they use on their bumpers. It’s about 15 bucks a can super easy to apply. That way there’s no opportunity for rust to gather behind a steel plate, and it’s simple to touch them up if you have a scratch them on the trail etc. And it’s fast, easy, cheap, and looks good. Win!
1000 times this, spending money on dirt collectors seems...silly

I get why these exist. And my pinch welds bother me (going to paint mine).

But to a non-B6G person, the two pictures would be like a "find the one difference" picture puzzle that no one would figure out.
I’m a B6G person and it took me a few looks to spot the difference 😂🤣

JCR has sold these for months? I don’t like the visible pinch welds but also leaning to coating with a bed liner.

The clean finished look does make an improvement but my concern is that it’s essentially a gutter to trap debris and hold water. Longevity rust problems?
Agree with that for sure. It’s a water trap.

Tape off the area above and paint the pinch weld black.
