Here's some for $25.50 with free shipping. (Rep points please.:laughing3d
Uncut Clear Bra Film 0.17mm thick - $25.50 for 10 Feet : eBay Motors (item 140362965819 end time Mar-26-10 03:59:33 PDT)
This should be enough since you can cut the 24" width into 3 sections of 8". I believe that's the height I went with from the bottom of the door, up. You might be fine with the offset that you have... it'll probably stick out about 1.5" maybe 2" because of the aggressive sidewall/shoulder on the tires. I doubt it'll throw the small rocks that cause the scratches. You need to worry about dents from the big rocks that'll get caught. j/k.

Granted it's not as thick as the 3M material, it'll still do the job if all you want to do it protect the sides from scratches and small chips. I did the puncture test with a key just like what 3M did and it's still tough to break through it. $300 for 3M was too steep for me so I opted for this.. I'm glad I did because it's holding up great and has been protecting my rocker panels for over a year now. :tu: Plus I used the $275 that I saved towards a tonneau cover.
as we all agree the 3m tape is better, however I do believe that any protection is better than none. With that said many body shops are using these films now and applying them to vehicles as does my local vinyl shop.Granted it's not as thick as the 3M material, it'll still do the job if all you want to do it protect the sides from scratches and small chips.

I do have to disagree with the comment that as long as you don't do serious offroading your fine. Rain has stripped the clear coat from my tacoma's tires overhang in a short period of time.
Lastly there is always the ever cheapest but affective option of a mud guard
