Probably nothing, there is hardly any curvature to it. But it is covered from a pretty decent angle from the spare tire, we don't have such devices out here.
I have some very thin "foam tape" that you'll find at lowes/home depot near the garage/door weatherstripping..comes in a roll. I use that to keep the majority of it off the tub.
I haven't had any issues. It's sucked up very tight to the tub. If I catch the plate, the tail light, gas fill cover, fender and lots of paint are going with it!
Yeah, my plate looks pretty rough right now too, it took a pretty good shot. Why a tree would jump in my way I'll never know, treeacide maybe.
Forever ago, after my second broken license plate holder, I figured I'd just cut off the stock light and mount the plate to the tub using the stock bracket holes. I notched the tail light to hold the light, it was intended to be temporary..but has been fine for over two years.
Anyone else done this with theirs? Haven't seen it, just sharing the idea.

I did this with my TJ as well but I actually bought a curved bracket, I think it was made by Warrior if I remember.I did this when I had my TJ, hadn't considered it on the JK. Not sure how I feel about it with the angles, the TJ had that nicely bezier'd corner. Definitely solves the plastic plate holder issue without all the BS involved in moving it to the Jed Clampit location.
That is the stock light actually, it met the dremel.
