rock chips are a fact of life, unless your car is a show car, there is no way around it. just use it as an excuse to get a new paint job or aftermarket bumper.

I live in Australia......Brisbane AND Gold Coast ~

I really think it depends where you live.....cause my Yaris is on 10,000km and I haven't got any chips yet ~ Just alot of dirt and bird crap.....she's getting cleaned today ~

Over here....the only way to get chips is if you drive behind a truck carrying gravel.....and some of the small bits fly out ~ That's how my dad's windshield cracked ~
