Default Rock Chips are Killing Me!

Hello All and Merry Christmas-

It was beautiful in Tennessee today so I went for a nice 25 mile drive-when I got home I noticed 3 or 4 new paint chips from rocks on the road. It seems every time I take the car out I get fresh damage. Has anyone done anything to help prevent this (my 02 Accord has flares (or something) behind the front tires to keep rocks from being thrown back on the rocker panels or doors. This is driving me mad!!! Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

Just use touch up paint on each new chip and enjoy the car.

That was my thought. I had a regular nose mask for years, but now that I am lowered, the tabs will cause a rubiing with the tires. I actually have a brand new nose mask still in the box taking up space in my shed.

Don't be a nancy-boy. Just drive the car. Life's too short to be worrying about rock chips.
