Rock chips can be greatly reduced by not following other vehicles too close, and allowing a "cushion" of space so that flying rocks will hit the ground in front of you before reaching your vehicle. Most hard-shell lens covers tend to distort/deminish light output of the headlights; thereby, degrading night-time visibility.
There is also a protective "film" available that can be custom-cut and applied to headlights/foglights; along with other cool stuff for motor vehicle enthusiasts, check out: www.griotsgarage.com
You can be right about following cars to close,but if the night time is the big issue here then i'll have HID installed to compensate the lack of light beam.
Here few guys did it & looks very good though to the point that police don't even bother to pull drivers for that any more
With headlights on, looking at the VX from the outside, the light level looks good/adequate... While driving, you can almost see more by turning off the headlights and using your round parking lights. The HID idea will probably work. Turning on the high beams helps too, but goes right into on coming drivers' eyes.
As to the "style" of the covers... to each his own.
I personally really like a vehicle with black paint and headlights/taillights blacked out. Some do, some don't. I've been photoshopping some ideas for modding the VX headlights for a while now. These GTS covers are a good start. (By the way, removing the GTS label from the covers helps to de-pimp it.)
I hope to have a permanent solution soon.
The main point is... enjoy your own style and function creativity!

You know,a bit before i placed my order i had in mind a nice idea about those covers.The GTS white letters didn't came on my covers,so i checked ebay.com & saw someone selling polished-aluminium vehicross logos & my thoughts were how those logos can look at the bottom side of the covers
I bought those same logos for the door's panels,i think eric (elsport) also got them.
