Protect the front bumper

Anybody have any suggestions on how to protect the front bumper? I have a bug deflector for the hood but I've already gotten 2 rock chips on the front bumper in the month I've owned the car. I drive on the interstate daily so there is no amount of junk getting thrown at it

Clear bra would be my suggestion.

Check out Xpel Extreme

http://www.xpel.com/products/xpel_xt...ction_film.asp

I have this on my Ex's Bumper, Hood, Grill, A-Pillars, & Front Roof Line and it is doing a fine job. No nicks or dings and it is easy to clean and very invisible.
