Can you buy the diamond plate for older R-Pods?  My 2010 171 doesn't have it.

Diamond plating is readily available from a variety of sources.  Off-roaders use it extensively.  The diamond plating on my R-pod seems to be very thin--maybe even plastic?  Not sure, but here's a source for diamond plate for RVs:  http://diamondlifegear.com/trailer-stone-guard.htm#buynojmp

I lke the looks of the diamond plate but my 5 year old 177 without rock protection and thousands of miles on has no rock damage on the front or any where else for that matter.

Good point. 5 years and about 20,000 miles and we didn't have any issues with our 171.
