The 4" lawn edging stuff, the kind that is very thin for the most part and thick only at the one rounded end is what I used. Installed with a curve on it, it will hold shape at speed but flex and return to shape when it rubs a speed bump or something. Very cheap. Very effective. Easily installed, really.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
