the point of the post is to see which part of the car gets most hit statistically speaking, not whether or not you get stone chips.
everyone is going to get a stone chip at some point. vote when you get a stone chip

Front bumper and on the top leading edge of the front fenders. I am extremely conscious of not following too closely, and avoiding gravel haulers. But hey, this is the real world and I love to drive this thing.
I had my first little chips at under 2K miles. FYI… I went with Opti as soon as I brought it home… applied by Charlie Hahn.

After sticky tires were installed it ruined my rear bumper along the wheel well, had to install OEM mudguard.

Thus why I am getting XPEL on the whole front day one, my roads are bad, lots of grit, gravel elements etc. Plus XPEL unlike 3M over time will not yellow and has much better healing qualities to it.
