Rock chips

First time out in the rain today. I always follow at least 4 car lengths behind someone in front and double if its a semi/dump truck lol. But it's got to be the subaru paint. I had maybe one on the front bumper and in one trip I've got at least 10-15. I mean little craters all over the front bumper. I'm pretty OCD about my car. I might possibly clear bra the whole front later and get the front bumper repainted. Or just accept it and go do more track day. Sorry guys I'm just ranting. Does anyone have a opinion on what to do to help prevent or is it just inevitable?

3 posts i guess you didn't search for this kind of thread.
this was discussed x 999999999999999999999 times.

1. drive and get chips then get repainted
2. clear bra
3. buy new bumper.

seriously i was in your boat but i just drive and enjoy. then get it repainted again later. when i had RSX-S back in, i went through 4 bumpers. (Mugen, Lip kits, OEM bumeprs etc)

2.5k and i've touched up a few spots and have a few more, and i give good following distances.

clear bra would def help, or take the money from a clear bra and put $10 of it to toward a paint pen and the rest toward depreciation or repainting.
