My question is, being my bumper and headlights are done, which is the next most high impact area? In most cases I'd guess fenders and hood, but I have some greater concerns about the rockers and fronts of the rear fenders on this car that only someone that has been driving the car for a while is likely to answer properly (i.e. not guessing).

I'd like recommendations based on experience with your car and where you have noticed the most impacts. Thank you in advance as I have been debating this over and over for days.
I put mud guards on my 2013 when I first got it. That's all I have done to protect the paint. The only "paint chips" / scars that I have on my car are under the front clip where I've run up on curb things.

I can't see them without bending waaaaay over, then I forget about them because my back hurts when I straighten up.

I suggest you just drive the car and not worry -
