I actually really like your car, very nice!!

Now, I understand the total rock chip thing, I lived in Alberta for 8 years, so I understand the 'bra.  That said, take it off whenever you are not going to be on the hiway or on (ahrggg) gravel roads.  If you have the bra very clean and the car clean and waxed when you put it on and then take it off as soon as you can, the paint will last the longest.

If you leave it on, the slight movement of the top edge of the bra will combine with the dust in the air and wear the paint right down to the metal, and in some cases right into the metal over time.

Now, your choice on NFL teams, well....
91 Eagle Talon TSi 5spd awd.  GT-12, TriFlow Cams, 850s, Tial, JIC, Jackal, sticky rubber.
86 Merkur XR4Ti 5spd, rwd, turbo, 91,381km.  Original paint, heated leather. intercooled, big VAM, Full 3" exhaust, Cossie sway bar, 16" tires.
06 Mazdaspeed6 6spd awd, DISI turbo, heated leather HIDs, Corksport, Cobb, Konig, Centric...
2018 VW Golf Alltrack turbo Tornado Red, 6mt, some free mods

the blur is a photoshop deal. 
And the bra is more of a logo cover than a paint protector!

I must be really old school cause I like the support my bra offers!

If the subject is moving,  you must move the camera to follow the subject. Consider using fast film or setting your digital SLR on a fast ISO setting. Keep your body and the camera as steady as possible, track the subject through the viewfinder and ensure your camera is focusing properly on the subject, and take the photo. This technique uses the blurred background to highlight the motion of the subject, whereas background blurred solely through a shallow depth of field is used to make the subject stand out from its surroundings

Alternatively you can use Photoshop, select the background and use the Blur filter. However, this Photoshop technique does not create true depth as it blurs everything in the background uniformly rather than independently based on distance from the lens. An image blurred "in camera" collects visual information from a scene that a PhotoShop blurred image can never obtain because the data is not there in a Photoshop file, thereby making the "in camera" image a much truer and organic image/record.

- See photoshop is the cheap crappy way to do this. If you use the above method you can create photo's that are the same quality as the photos in sport compact car or whatever, looks like the car is flying down the highway but it is really the background effect.

Yeahh Graeme thata boy.Thats how its done. Im still trying to master it on my camara with the million plus settings i have. It looks 100000 times better doing it with the slr then it does with the blurr tool in photoshop. My self id never use photoshop to blurr a picture. As you can see No offence it makes the picture look like crap. Ill master it soon as i have only ever tryed it at night.

Hahaha, we're just playing man, welcome to BCDSM....where your flaws are always pointed out ...;)
No don't worry we'll be nice :)
Also my camera can't handle the high res blur shots...as far as i know, so I would use photoshop too heh. Plus your ride is visually nice and it runs too, so you're up on like half the members. :P
