I don’t have this done and have spacers front and rear and I have noticed a decent amount of chips. Almost no point for me now. My car is leased and wonder if they could charge me on the lease return for the damage

I frankly would not want to install these plastic strips, my previous M4 Comp had this area behind the door covered by a factory installed protective plastic, so I'm hoping BMW knew what they were doing with not putting anything like that on the M8?

I just got the car last week, not planning on tracking it (although there will be spirited drives through canyons) and I will bedoing about 5,000 miles a year.

Any input would be appreciated!
