3M clearbra on the rear door area and the rocker panels. I'm also waiting for the RallyArmor mudflaps to become available. Paranoid about rock chips on WW.

 

mud flaps. No brainer. The cheapest and the best protection.

 

hey, well at least if a rock chip gets made on WW, it wont be that apparent (a couple nicks that I have are white).

But yeah, I have mudflaps (now only on the front)... RallyArmor has the best looking ones, IMO, wish I had gotten those in black

 

I've got the aero kit and I love the way it looks that why I got it. No rock chips is a bonus.

 

3M clearbra on the rear door area and the rocker panels. I think this is the way to go I had a stone chip the first day

 

I have none and i am going to repaint the back doors, because the winter stripped the doors. once done they are going to 3m the whole door and dog leg. it going to cost 2000. I have to do what i can. the 3m they put at the dealership is not enough to protect the door and dog leg, so if i got it done it would be a waste of money. take my advice 3m the whole door.

 

this is a hard topic to argue. How would someone know if their aero kit helps if they dont know what its like without the kit? Unless the same two people, one with a kit and one without, drive the same route everyday and compare after months and months of testing. And even then it wont mean anything because rock chips are a random occurrence. That being said, I will be purchasing a 3m clear bra for protection...

 

Mud flaps or not you're still going to get those rock chips.

 

I don't think the flaps seem to stop it completely ....almost no one with the aero kit has issues so seems that is the magic bullet.

 

does anyone have a picture example of this problem? i haven't driven mine too much yet, but i would like to know what to expect.

maybe i'll get that lip kit now.

 

27k miles with aero kit and no paint damage what-so-ever.

Makes me totally oblivious to what everyone else is mentioning.

 

i did some close-up observation of my car just now, and i kind of see what's going on. without the aero kit, the wheels stick out on the bottom part. add that to the fact the rear panels stick out, you get whatever the wheels throw back, it goes upwards and hits the rear panels. although i don't have any rock chips (whew), i do see a ton of dirt concentrated in that fender area. crap i better make getting that lip kit a priority before it's too late.

 

I need multiple choices of the poll:

Aero Kit
RallyArmor Mudflaps
Putting on 3m clear bra in the spring when the car is out of storage

 

Meh its all opinion. I put them on to save the paint on my car, but can take them off at any time by undoing three screws. I'd rather be able to unscrew them for pictures than to have my car covered in rock chips for pictures.

They don't look too bad to me:





I think they'll look a lot better when the car is on the ground with some more aggressive wheels.

 

^^^ can we get some side shots of your car
