That area just loves to get some and chip away. I look at it as a minor flaw. Anyway +2 on clear bra.

mits sells the little plastic "clear bra" covers for the rear door jambs...i think everyone gets rock chips there...they are cheap, only like $15 i think...if you do a search, you can find the part number

But what about if that area is already chipped to hell? Wouldn't you have to get it repainted first?

I have chips on the a back fender at the base by the back of the back door. I have the clear protectors from Mitsu but I need to fill in the chips with the touch-up paint first. I have a clear bra on the front of my car and it is awesome. I also have chips on the back door. The clear protectors wont do **** to stop those. I just need to get really good with the touch up paint....

they have pre-cut 3M clear-bras for the evo that will cover your entire front end and part of the hood and mirrors...my car is already too bad to have it done now...but i plan to have it installed when the car gets repainted - whenever that may be

i think someone on the board said something about a spray on clear-bra that 3M has now, but i dont know for certain about that
