I do and I am uber pissed. lol. I just bought my IS a week ago and I already have them - rock chips on the hood, bumper, side mirrors, and a scratch on my right fender. Arrgh!!!
Should I just cut my despair or get it fixed and have the clear film applied afterwards?

^ I agree, if the damage is minor, some touch-up paint should do the trick. The paint on the IS tends to "chip" easily.
I have a few minor ones on the hood and fenders, probably from driving on the I-5 between NorCal and SoCal multiple times. I guess if you drive a lot, these things are bound to happen. Good luck.

and I take FOUR freeways to get to/from work, so....my car takes a LOT of damage
....As a matter of fact, I think if I look at it too long now, the paint chips on its own haha

I Have tons...I pretty much need to have my whole front repainted..Pretty much every time i make a trip to my house in Lake Havasu from L.A. i get 1 or 2..I go like twice a month.. I HATE BRA's for the cars, hate them.
Taping up the front takes way to long to do every time. I just deal for the mean time, it is what it is. I have touch up paint in the car & just dab a little when i get there. I just don't like adding anything like film or anything like that cuz over time it peels up or gets ugly..Need a throw away type thing that u use once for the long trips..Again taping looks crappy & takes to long..I have an idea..After my vacation gonna look into it..
PS when i get my F..Getting it in white.....Black is awesome but to hard to keep clean & nice..
