As far as I understand it, they're to protect the front of the car from
stone chips, kamikaze flies etc. [ Do they still permit flies in
California? (-: ] so, yes, you could argue they're for cosmetic reasons,
in that they protect the cosmetic appearance of the car. But no-one can
see the lovely paintwork under all that horrid vinyl. Now if someone
would develop a transparent car bra....
Also, what good do they do if the CA (or wherever) sun fades the rest of
your paintwork? I'm not being facetious here. I just can't see the
point of the things, unless you take 'em off when you park the car. They
just seem to be an (IMHO) awful "fashion" accessory. Still at least
they're not dangerous, like "bull bars".
