I decided not to get it, instead i drive very carefully like i did when i got wheels. I stay at least 6 carlenghts behind everyone at all times. Even if i have to go slow (hey its better then repainting) and if i do get a rock chip, i used a tooth pick to touch up. All u do is dip the toothpick in the paint and get a little drop on the end and then put it on the chip right in the center. U will see how the paint spreads by itself to the outside of the chip. Looks pretty good to, can hardly tell. Basically just stay way behind people so they don't shoot up rocks........
i do the same too..staying back and all.

but cars that passes you from the sides also give you rock chips...ARGH!
