If you mean upper quarter panel protection, I used 3/16" aluminum riveted to the body. I cut & boxed the lower quarter panels using the existing steel.

I used 12GA. sheet steel for mine. A good comprimise between weight and strength.
If I were going to do the lower quarters(at bumper height) I'd use something like 3/8" as that area really gets some abuse.
