GM and the dealer say it isnt their responsibility and to call my insurance company....not happy right now, first chevy i have owned since my 2000 Z28 ..... these tires have just beaten up the paint, i cant believe they didnt put something of the splash guard/plastic cote on those areas.... great car otherwise after coming out of a 15 mustang, but this paint issue is terrible.......

When new I put these OEM Camaro ZL1 splash guards on and made templates for the body panels and bumper; then cut/applied Xpel film to all areas prone to rock chips; it is working great after 15 months.

And to prevent door dings (on rare occasion I park near another car in work parking garage) ...
I use these homemade side protectors from pipes/insulation parts leftover on home hot water heater install project:



The hook is padded with foam tape.



Slide apart in a second and fit easily in the little Camaro trunk - very light.
When folks ask what those things are on the side of the car I tell them it is an anti-theft device to prevent doors from opening.
