I live in an area where during the winter months the roads get sanded a bit too frequently. Some of the sand is not so small in diameter and ends up nailing car panels and front windows. This post is very helpful in that hopefully I can exercise some preventative measures to minimize the dings.
Thanks again.

Glad to help! I live on a 1/4 mile gravel driveway and I don't get much gravel in my tires at all. I think it happens when there is sand/gravel on the road, and at higher speeds as you turn that flared area is impacted by all of the debris coming off of the front tires. I already had a few rock chips on the hood before I was able to get it in for the bra.
