Paint chipping

Does anyone have issues with significant paint chips on lower doors? Bt the car used and there is a significant amount of road rash- obsidian paint and car is almost new. Using Dr. Color Chip and expel to protect going forward but surprised at how fragile a sub 1000 mile car is.

I did this to prevent any rock chips flinging on the side of the car, so far so good! I had it PPF the lower rocker panels and I made a custom fender protection on my own...

Thanks. What did you use to make the extension? I’ve asked the dealer if I could purchase the little wing for the rear fenders separately but he hasn’t replied.

The summer tires in 21” are so sticky and wide. I think I will see damage to the PPF if I continue with the same tires. Has anyone found suitable replacement all seasons in the stock 21” size? Tire rack doesn’t have any.

The little extensio only comes riveted to the flare as one part. Dealer had changed my rear flares before I picked up the car. They are checking to see if they still have the old ones...how did you make your extension?

I have the exact same problem. I had Xpel applied to the lower rockers, up the front of the rear fenders as well as the front clip. I have the Perelli PZero tires and rocks stick to them like crazy. I had to replace one this week and found out they're not run flats as I was told when I bought the car. Now.... no run flat tires.... and no jack..... And no one I can find offers run flats in 21".
