Default Rock chips on side of car

Has anyone else gotten rock chips along the sides of thier cars? Mainly the front fenders, but also along the door and rear quarter panel as well. My front is completely clean, thanks to a clear bra, but a little concerning that the sides are getting chips. I'm not sure if it's only me or not.

Yea, I have some of that too. Its really annoying, but really, what can we do? The paint is fairly cheap and the materials arent the most durable it seems. In any case though, it's a car - it's going to get nicked...

i think cars looks ugly with car bras. since you already have the car bra then might as well get some ugly mudflappers. also change your driving habits, like don't follow so close to other cars (especially rwd, awd, and damn trucks!). also know your roads, try to avoid crappy roads if possible.

It's a clear bra. They are clear, as the name would suggest.

Dude, you don't even have a tC. I'm sure a bike is your only mode of transportation anyways
