Default Diamond plate rear quarter panel protection

So i know its not worth anything with out pics. so i did a paint center mock up. So i am starting today. So was wondering if any of jeepers did anything like this. going from the back door and cutting the diamond around the flares to tail lamps. I am going cover the rear tail lamps.
Thinking about notch out the side of the rear bumper use 5/8 steel tubing to cover and protect the plastic lamps. also the tubing is to hold offroad parks flags

Are you worried about water or mud collecting behind the panel and creating a rust problem?
