Is it just me or is this happening to anyone else- i wash this car like 4 times a week and never noticed this at all until last night. I get it all dried looking perfect and i see like dirt on the bottom of the door and front fender area- im thinking to myself did i miss that whole area so i get on my knees and swipe my finger across it and it wont come off so i know its not dirt. I go grab my clay bar and try to see if its in the clearcoat and nope doesnt get any better. It looks like a machine gun plastered tons of rock chips along the whole bottom of the door and fender. Im super careful trying to avoid everything in the road and this happens. It looks like crap now and cant believe it. Ill take a picture tonight for you and see what you guys think. Im banging my head against the wall because i should have put some clear vinyl on it now im thinking of putting some silver vinyl on it to cover it up- its going to bug me so much now.

Here you go...Jaeger Brothers make splash guards for us, and there is no drilling. They can be put on and taken off. No rock chips on the front fenders or door bottoms.

I got a few small chips so far hood and fender drivers side. But took a rock or something to the windshield yesterday. Was just out for a drive after work when I heard it hit. Was like wow I cant believe that didnt crack the windshield. After a min. or so I finally noticed it right next to my inspection sticker. Almost the size of a dime. So will be getting a new one installed next week.

Yes, I had a Hood, Fender & Mirror kit installed, along with the Rocker Panels, the area behind the rear tires, A-Pillars, the Door Handle area & the luggage area protected. It cost just over $1,000.00, but was worth it to me for the piece of mind. Consider what a quality body shop would charge you just to repaint a hood & you'll understand why I went with the Clear Bra.

I noticed this and installed some JLT carbon splash guards and this has seemed to have stopped the chips along the lower door panel etc. Only problem now is the lower plastic trim is still rough like sand paper.
Seems with the wheels much wider than the lower part of the car any small stones or debris get flung up on the bodywork.
