Default Does anyone else have this problem??

my damn paint is chipping on my rear bumper from rocks and road stuff flying up and hitting it. I am afraid of spinning my wheels when it rains because i know all the stuff on my tires is hitting it. Also i dont want it to chip any worse than it already is.......

True, they do have the mudflaps. but mudflaps are easily removed at times. paint chips are not easy or cheap to fix. i say get the mudflaps. if someone laughs at you, laugh at their horrid rock chips.... its kinda like saying, "... Well youre ugly, and i can lose weight!"

i've put so many layers of wax on the car that I don't have that problem. if it does happen tho, i can buff it right out because it'll never make it to the clearcoat!
