Fender arches and door lock keyholes both take abuse. Rocks, grit, and scrapes can leave visible marks, and moisture can sit in the little recess of the lock. The challenge is choosing between a wide protective strip for the wheel arches and a small cover for the keyhole. Both are exterior protection accessories, but they solve different problems.
Quick verdict
If your main concern is the exposed edges around your fender flares and you want a broad, easy-to-install guard, the 2x Car Exterior Accessories Fender Flare Arch Sticker Protective Strip Universal is the practical choice. Its black strips are built for the fender arch area. If you need a targeted way to protect the keyhole from dirt and moisture, the Carbon Fiber Car Lock Keyhole Sticker Protection Cover Exterior Accessories 20mm delivers a compact rubber cover in a carbon fiber finish.

Where each product wins
The fender flare arch sticker wins when you need broader coverage. It is built around protecting the wheel-arch area, so it suits drivers who see chips and scuffs along the fender edges. With two strips, it covers both sides, making it a more comprehensive guard for the sides of the car.
The carbon fiber keyhole sticker wins when you need a precise, low-key fix. It is designed for the lock area, so it suits drivers who want to keep grime out of the keyhole without adding a big accessory. It is a set-and-forget option.
Product notes
2x Car Exterior Accessories Fender Flare Arch Sticker Protective Strip Universal
This set is aimed at the fender flare arches, a spot that takes a lot of road debris and curb scuffs. The self-adhesive backing and easy installation should make it a low-friction weekend job for most drivers. Because the strips are intended for the left and right sides, you can protect both arches with one set. The limitation is that this is a fender-focused accessory; it does not extend to the keyhole or other trim areas. If you need lock protection, you would need a separate product.
Carbon Fiber Car Lock Keyhole Sticker Protection Cover Exterior Accessories 20mm
The appeal of this cover is its precision. It targets the keyhole, a small recess where moisture and dirt tend to collect. The process is simple: clean the keyhole, peel the backing, and press the sticker into place. The 20mm size keeps the cover discreet while still covering the lock area. One limitation is its scope; this is a keyhole-only accessory, so it won't help with fender arch scrapes. If you need protection along the wheel arches, this set won't do that job.
Final choice by use case
- If your priority is guarding the fender arches from chips and scrapes, choose the 2x Car Exterior Accessories Fender Flare Arch Sticker Protective Strip Universal. It provides broader side protection.
- If your priority is keeping the keyhole clean and dry, choose the Carbon Fiber Car Lock Keyhole Sticker Protection Cover Exterior Accessories 20mm. It is a targeted solution for a specific spot.
