Default Pitting on lower trim pieces. How bad?

Curious how much pitting from road debris you guys are getting in the lower areas. Front lip spoiler, side skirts and lower rear part behind the fender. Pics of where I'm talking about:





TIA. Cheers.

Side skirts and rear nothing really. Front lower is very pitted. But good news is it’s rough texture and pitting is uniform. But it will get beat up. New piece is 3-400 bucks. Make sure your ppf goes under that too. If there is even a slight edge of paint not covered then it will get sand blasted. Let installer remove that and put ppf wrapped under.

I think he was referring to the black rubber piece below the lower bumper surround.

Are we talking about a Touring (or S/T) with the painted lower part (fish mouth) or Winged with black rough plastic? Pic in first post looks painted…

The areas that you circled are the only areas I get covered with PPF. Done it on my last six or so cars gets 90% of the protection. I’m personally not a fan of full PPF I don’t know why .
doing the partial has worked out really well two GT4s per total of 15,000 miles no chips .
same with my GT three 7500 miles and my GTS.
my M2,which has been my daily driver for the last six years 80,000 miles and not one chip just did the bumper rockers the mirrors and behind the rear wheels pretty much what you circled.
