I dont really see the point in them! Why not cover the rest of the car aswel incase a stray stone should dare hit the precious paint work on bare metal of your car!

I bought one for my most recent car and did so purely for aesthetic reasons. They are not to everyone's taste but I like them.
Obviously they do have a function as opposed to what they look like but I wasn't really to bothered by that.
