You should consider Xpel ultimate, It really protects very well and is very close to transparent.

Same here. I'm going to try out DrColorChip repair, then Xpel or 3M spray. Brings a tear to my eye just looking at it.

The tires punish the sides, and you Z28 guys and gals have it worse with the flares. To avoid repainting, you will need some type of transparent rock chip film whenever you drive. Its an annoying fact of life for us.

I had that problem with Paint damage from the front tires
after having the paint repaired
I put on the front rock guards from ZLI https://www.zl1addons.com/
and then had the car wrapped with Xpel ultimate
Solved the Problem

What are people paying for an Xpel or 3m wrap?

A lot easier to deal with things like this on my truck. Oh look, rock chips. por15 and bedliner spray!

I threw the Trofeos on a set of track wheels and put Michelin PSS's on the factory rims. Those Trofeos were throwing rocks that even landed on my truck lid!

I found my first rock chip. It was on the front bumper. Traffic, not tire related I'm guessing by its location..
