Blasted stone chips
I have no idea how it happened, but I have several stone chips on the front nose...looks like a shot gun blast, and was not following a construction vehicle/dump truck. They make the clear plastic film for the mirror and behind the tires and the sill plate....why not the nose? Any suggestions? Don't want a bra!!!

First of all, cars kick up rocks to so it does matter what you are following behind.
I was behind a car and the car kickked up a rock and broke my windshield.

If you drive the car, rock chips will happen. Any vehicle can kick them up. I know you said you don't like bras, but the GM bra does give good coverage for a small price.

I have a black 04 with the same problem. I thought it was bug juice and carcass all over the nose but it turned out to be the gray primer under the paint. I went to one of those places that "repair" paint chips and $180.00 Later it looked the same if not worst because now it has some black freckles when the sun hits it. 2004 car already time for new paint, you gotta love cars that sit low to the ground.....you jusy gotta
