Commuter Issue, looking for solutions.

Hey everyone, looking for a potential solution to my rock dodging issue I deal with everyday. For people from New York, driving on the 495 does suck, especially during high traffic. I was thinking of a bra but I really dont like the look. Any idea's would be great. Thanks again.

You can wrap the front of your car with a clear bra/mask. It's like a vinyl wrap.

however; it's a car! the front end will always get abused because we're driving at speed.
no matter what you do or how you protect it, it will ALWAYS get abused.

Yep, city driving will take its toll... another vote for a clear bra / vinyl wrap. Also, try to keep some distance from the vehicle in front of you to avoid the pebbles it kicks up. I know, I know... too large a gap and someone will jump in, and you'll never make it to work on time... which makes @thoiboi's suggestion, take mass transit, appealing.

Hmmm... the old beak / shield grill had a purpose after all!

Clearbra is about $300 installed for the front of my car (bumper + Hood + Fender Trim + Front A-Spec Kit), or a new paint job is about $350 for the front bumper from a great shop. With that said, I'm going the route of clearbra since lovebugs in FL are TERRIBLE. At least I can use something a bit more "scrubby" on a clearbra than on paint to get this type of mess off:
