Yes I'm anal. I bought the 167 just to fly with and leave the day to day grunting to my 180, Tarkus.
But I had enough of the baggage handlers and made some quick fixes to things that I saw taking a beating.

After TSA I just wrap her up, takes less than a minute, and ride to the plane. Lower CS and that's it.
Parts:
(2ea) 1908300001 - Fender Frame Kit, XT - $99.95 (the most $$ part)
(1ea) 2 3/8" ID by 3/4" foam pipe insulation-$7.00
(1ea) 1 1/2" ID by 1/2" foan pipe insulation-$2.99
(1rl) Velcro straps-$6.00
(1pr) Old black socks-Free fron kids room
Last is the fender edge protectors that can be found at your local marine supply made by Taco Marine. Covers up or prevents those edge chips and cracks.

PS-I know some of you have gone miles and miles without doing anything other than lowering the CS and never had a problem.
But I am a little OCD !
