Default lower paint chipping

Is anyone having problem with rocks coming off the tires and putting small paint chips on the lower panels and wheel well paint? Is there a remedy for this?

I had the 3M "invisible bra" installed last week. They said they could do custom work as well and put it in areas like you describe.

I'm ready for the bashing, but wish someone would make no-drill splash guards pretty soon!

There is a solution - one that I use with all of my show cars incoluding my C6. I install very small stone guards (mud flaps).
