I did get two chips on my stripes. Both in random locations. Yeah one is on my wing on the rear it looks like someone may have walked by it and hit it with a watch or kart or something idk and then another on the very back edge of my hood closest to the windshield. I have 17k miles on my car already and a few rock chips on the hood but none on the stripes.

Anyone get chips in their vinyl stripes?
I am wondering how durable these stripes are. Does road debris speckle and beat up these stripes? I just had my car PPF the whole front end and they went over the stripes as I told them. Superior protection but there is a slight air gap between stripes and paint that is slightly annoying. They can cut out the stripes if I want and keep them bare and get rid of it if I want. Any feedback or thoughts?
So it’s either leave the stripes bare and let them get beat with the road or cover them in PPF and live with a small white line on edges but they’ll be shielded from any chips. It depends on stripe durability to me. Below is what they look like covered with PPF. The vinyl is very thick and the PPF can’t make that transition perfectly.
