Boris,
When you move to Utah you're going to want to put something on the leading edge of your hood and along bottom of your door. The plows really like to lay the salt down in the city when it snows and in the canyons they add a little gravel. If you lie on your back and look at bottom of the door the region from the front of the door to the fender is what gets pelted with gravel. I purchased some 2" and 4" wide protective tape from groits garage
http://www.griotsgarage.com/ (search for protective)
What's neat about this stuff is that you can remove it and it isn't suppose to leave a mess. I put the 2" tape on the hood and the 4" tape underneath the door. This stuff is similar to the material used in the advertisements that you see in Taco Bell windows. It is expensive, but it works.
I know that in the small aircraft world there is a product called "Leading edge" tape. Do a search at http://www.google.com for leading edge tape for urls.
I'd recommend that you "tape up" before you drive here.
Todd
