Rear quarter chips from spacers

About to install my spacers and wondering if anyone is getting chips on the rear quarter behind the rear wheel? I have splash guards, but really don’t like the look with the rear ones on. Front splash guards look ok, and seem necessary. But the rear panel curves in and the bottom side diffuser (which I have PPF’d) looks like it would protect the quarter.

Appreciate the feedback for my OCD.

Best option is to PPF the rear quarters. I only did to the top of the arch to get coverage.

I agree. I had the front end and roof PPF’d with STEK, with all the piano black trim and CF pieces as well. But now I’m thinking I should have had the whole car done, so will bring it back to cover the rest. Expensive, but seems worth it.

I had the bottom of rear quarter done and purchased carbon flaps from banm2_c on the forum . They are not that noticeable and a extra layer of protection.

Ppf, I haven’t noticed any chips in the back, but I didn’t want to risk it.
