Don't try to anal rape the car in front, try to fall back or get a car in front of you if there's a dump truck carrying any type of debris...

That's how you avoid rock chips and even then there's a chance for them "attacking"...

Remember there's no shame in driving your car like a car but it never hurts to be extra pre-cautious.
I spoke with Jeff at AudioHeaven today and he told me they cannot install it over Opti-coat, said it wouldn't stick...

Just don't follow people so close on the freeway. Works for me.. Was never a fan of Opti Coat. It's like permanent wax for lazy people. I love waxing my car.
