Rock Chip Damage High Impact areas
As a new Camaro owner, I know the front bumper and gill area are prone to rock chips. What are other high impact areas that you get rock chips at?

Front lower wheelwells and adjacent lower fender rocker area, upper cowl area right above the grille and headlights, and in extreme cases the protruding rear view mirrors. Not fun things to deal with.

I have one chip so far, about 1" up from the top of the windshield on the passenger side.
Otherwise, as noted above, pretty much the entire front of the car, including the lights. |

My 1LE likes to chuck rocks at the gills on the front half of the rear quarters. Lots of white marks from rock hits. Sticky F1's are to blame. Looking for splash guards that will work with the factory body kit right now. Just plastic dip the entire thing! LOL

I have about 3-4 chips right above the windshield and some of them are so bad that they are rusting a little :/
