The car sits so low, it's not hard to pick up the chips. You can always install something like the 3M clear bra or a GM bra. Both work well to keep the chips (and bug stains) off.

The rockers are the worse. Crawl down there and take a look... You wont worry about your hood any more. Definitely holding back from tailgating prevents chips up front.

no doubt they are rock and bug magnets as other posters stated any one of the available bras will help

These cars lend themselves to rock chips, my car has about 80k on it. Needs new paint and I just replaced the windshield.

My car has always had a bra on it as well as mirror covers, but with only 25,000 miles on it the windshield looks sandblasted in the sun and the rockers are bad as well.
