It would need to be taken off and cleaned under regularly as I drive it 5 to 6 days a week, look odd, block airflow a bit and besides the damage is done already 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86098-stone-chips/page/2/#findComment-1419835 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've even got pitting on edges of the rear doors where they meet the front from road rash.

RynoF6 Idiot Member Donating Members 446 Member For: 15y 3m 14d Gender: Male Location: Muswellbrook, NSW Posted 29/08/13 01:56 PM Share Posted 29/08/13 01:56 PM (edited) Im about to respray the front of mine for the 4th time since 2010. Just covered in chips realy bad. I live in a mining area. Contractor utes and trucks driving off sites dropping dirt, mud and rocks everywhere. Its a real pain. Even with none in sight there is that much junk on the roads the traffic just tosses it all around.
