Paint chips

Yeah, they don’t use red cinder here. It’s basically stone the size of a pea, sometimes bigger. Pretty common to have to replace windshields or at least get window chips fixed during winter as well as the paint chips. Then in the spring and summer the state uses tar and chip on our roads. So there again, more rocks flying off the road. Unfortunately by the fender flares it seems to be denting, if not chipping the plastic underneath away

 

The 2nd gens had a piece of clear protective film in that exact area. No idea why there not using it now.
