They are there so the metal bracket doesn't scratch the paint and cause rusting.

On an aluminum body? We are talking about the new Super Duty bodies aren't we?

I believe its an added layer between the steel bracket and the aluminum to help against oxidization

Ahhh ok. I thought that at first but it’s so thin. If there’s any movement this protected might not last long.

thx

I did finish installing the splash guards. In total it took about an hour. I could install a second set in half the time but it just took me a bit to figure out the picture only instructions and which tools would actually work in the limited space between the tires and wheel wells
