Ok I have a ? for you guys, the other day I got a pretty good stone chip on the driver side rear fender flare  (no pic yet). I put a set of 285 75 R16 BFGoodrich All-Terrian T/A on the truck and they stick out past the fender to begin with, but I just hope this isn't something I have to look forward to. And wondered if anyone else has experienced this problem on or off road.

Has anyone with the rocker panel protection put on mud flaps yet? As I recall, they say you can't.

Bought my oem splash guards, from Lynch Hummer online, for $87, including shipping to MD. Received them a few days after order.
Super simple installation, without removing wheels and with regular drill. Just turn front wheels for the front installation.
I think they finish/add to the look of the black/gray oem steps, as well as protecting against paint chips.

I picked up a set for $80 at the dealer yesterday and I put them on this morning in about 20 minutes - front and rear. Really easy - just uses a drill and screwdriver. Instructions are easy to follow.

Yeah, we anticipated the fenders getting hammered. We had clear bra done on the dirrect impact areas on the rear and front flares. Also did the rocker panels. I tired pics, but it really doesn't show.

Thank you for the compliment.
Dealer installed for a total price of $100.00. They appear to be very easy to install, the front ones appear to attach with existing fender liner screws.
("Not the best photo, but it shoes the mud flaps.")  Man, I have to make sure I have my coffee before visiting this site. Must have been thinking about getting my shoes on and head to work.

Same size tire as offered on the off-road package. I have the mud flaps installed and it offers some protection. Only about one inch sticks out from the edge of the mud flap, so the flap covers up about two inches of inner tire.
This will help, but when I get back from TN, I will be ordering the rear fender clearmask splash kit mentioned by H3wannabe. It is only $113, but well worth the price.

Put the splash guards on this morning. Less than an hour for both, and I was pretty slow and methodical.
Didn't remove the wheels, although if I hadn't found the rubber drill bit that would have been required.
Just kiddin' about the rubber drill bit. I angled the drill a bit on the back and it worked ok, although if you do this and aren't careful the screws will go in at an angle. Remove the rear wheels if you are worried about it.
Superior Blue with adventure and black tube steps, looks pretty good. I'll post pictures after I get a chance to wash it. Darn rain is keeping me inside.

This is a problem for a lot of driver just not you. Some have even posted "bad design". The mud flaps may help but not sure for your tire size.
I even have a few my self but I don't care. Actually I do care and would love to keep the truck looking good as new but I take it out to much and it gets scratch marks from trees and dirty and rock chips.
I really care with my Z3 but this is totall going to happen to my H3 so I just don't care as much. To me it is meant to get messed up or will happen none the less.

Just put the splash guards a few minutes ago and they look great. Only took about 20 minutes to complete. Splash guards only cost 78.00 for the full set from Hummer.

When I was at the Hummer Happening in Seattle last week A fine gentlemen shared with me how he had repaired his stone chiped fenders.
He had a body shop, not the dealer, sand down and repaint the fenders flares on both back doors. Cost was around $180. He had a tint shop, AccuTint, put clear protective film on the newly painted flares about $90.
He also put mud flaps on.
I put mudflaps on mine last week, it was easy. Now I have to do the repaint and clear protective film.
I thought the cost was quite reasonable

Nothing new here. Any vehicle with wide fenders has this situation...Porsche 911's, Jeep Wranglers, Cobras, Open wheel roadsters, etc. It is part of having the wide fender look and a vehicle with a wide stable stance. If you look at some of the wide body 911's, they have a protective covering on the front of the rear fenders.
Here's and inexpesive solution to protect the fender paint: Get some "3M Clear Paint Protection film" and stick some on the fenders. You can find it on ebay for about $45 - $50.
FYI: This film works well on door sills, too. You will find it on the door sills of newer Jeep Wranglers.
