Thread: rock chip esperience

Tweet

I don't have an open wheeled car, but my truck might as well be. It gets rock chips and I think that there's only 2 ways to prevent them. 1. Quit driving it. 2. Put the stock tires on it and keep install huge flaps etc. (On an open wheeled car, full fenders would be the only sure fix I'd guess.) I'm not into either of those so I will just keep driving it. Haha

One thing I did do to help save the bottom of mine was I put rock guard on the lower portion of the body and it has helped tremendously with helping reduce the rock chips. Some of the front rock chips you may be seeing is probably from other traffic coming at you or in front of you. I had a semi coming at me throw a rock into my windshield last year and put a nice chip into it. I got another in the front of the hood from some moron spinning on gravel at a stop sign. And I had plenty of room between us. It's always something.

I've also been seeing a lot of guys using 4mm or thicker clear vinyl and applying to areas of rods to reduce rock chips and bug splatter.
