This is from last year, just after I bought it used and yes, skirts are on the shopping list. I have not driven it too many miles since. However I keep a close eye on the paintwork, and don't see any chips so far.

Like I said just a matter of individual preference. Personally, I feel the narrow body Stingray looks fine without skirts, however the wide-body and rear brake ducts look strange or incomplete to me without the skirts.

With respect Limey, it's to late by the time you see a rock chip. Rock chips come at you fast, and before you know it. I didn't have my '16 base car a week, and got a chip in the top of the front bumper. That car is way too nice to wait until after the fact my friend. If you prefer it without the shirts Xpel make a pre-cut template that covers the lower section of the rockers up to the first crease in the door, and includes a piece that runs higher up the front of the fender. Heck, with the sticky tires on my GS I'm so OCD about chips I have the skirts, and the Xpel.
Enjoy that beauty.The front bumper, hood, headlights, fenders, rockers, side skirts, and rear quarters are covered. The installer did such a good job you can't even tell it's there. As it should be.

Same here Jake. Here in the south the humidity during the summer stays between 50-65% on a normal day. When it hits the 90's that top has to go up. Luckily we live approx. 2 1/2 hrs from the Great Smokey Mountains, and the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina.
