Yeah that's why I hope I can get a few people to roll with me out there too, it's soo much more better than driving by yourself the whole way.

Well guys, Me and my Chic are leaving tonight at 3am to start our 22+ hour journey to the shootout. Got the VR4 all tapped up from rock chips and even put a mesh screen for the Front mount. Wish me Luck!

If I were you and was that worried about rocks, I'd be either pulling out those hard-to-find JDM foggies, or covering them up with a couple layers of tape as well.

I would love to bring mine, but I just don't trust it yet. Too many issues in the first 250 miles of ownership - and I'm only 4 hours away. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif

better get that tape hot before you even think about pulling it off.
Or it might look like the walls in my living room around the doors.
Just in case.

Are rock chips really an issue on the freeway during the summer from Texas to Ohio? It's mostly just a winter problem here. And even then, I only see dealerships doing stuff like this when they trade new cars and drive them between dealerships.

You can get a sheet of these click and cut to fit your lights. I've had them for years on all my cars all of which, save the Lexus, I converted to Euro lights. They haven't yellowed at all and are thick enough so that rocks/debris just frickin' bounce off them. Best of all they're invisible.

There's also clear vinyl that's practically invisible available for cheap to protect leading edges/exposed areas. It's probably a fun DIY project.

You should cover the windshield with masking tape too. Might get rock chips.
