Default Is anyone else experiencing a lot of rock chips on the front?

Every time I get on a highway here in South Florida, and I can hear the rocks pounding off my new A4 and I already have a slew of chips on the front of it. Extremely frustrating! And I'm not tailgating.

Damn trucks on 95

Default Yeah it sucks ... especially with a black car :(

Ever notice if a car switches lanes in front of you closely debris kicks up from in between the lanes on I-95. It sucks !!!

Default Clear bras look terrible!

I've seen a few on nice cars, and they look cheap. The only way to do it would be to get the whole hood and front end done. Too much effort

...as opposed to rock chips all over the front of your car?

Default On a white car, the edge of the bra gets filthy (and noticeable)

Don't get me wrong. It's definitely worth the investment if I did it from the beginning, but on white you almost have to do the entire front end to the windshield.

Hindsight is always 20/20

Default it would amaze you how LITTLE difference color makes

Whether or not the car is white or black, the car is still going to be freakin' hot if it's been outside. Trust me, I've jumped in/out of quite a few cars as my job...zero difference in my mind.
