Frozen is a tough finish, chips are inevitable but it's not like frozen is inherently fragile or something. I had the worst case scenario happen already, dump truck merged in front of me then hit a overpass and sprayed my non-PPF front end with gravel and stones at 60mph and there's no chips or marks, I cringed hard when it happened and assumed there would be chips when I got out to look.
I haven't washed mine for 700 miles now and in general the majority of bug impacts are on the front bumper and mirror covers, I might PPF them soon cause they seem to catch the most flak on this car. I put TLG mudflaps on the front and they seem to be catching a lot of stuff that would've otherwise gone into the side, the sides are still very clean.

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it. I really can't decide...the color is absolutely stunning but knowing me I would be super paranoid about it...ugh! Tough choice!
