I can barely see it on the car, I tried to take a picture of it but it is very hard to see. Blends in really well. On the areas I did not cover I do not have any chipping at all.

I think in your climate with sand and rocks on the road it may be more of a challenge than here in SoCal.
You are correct VentureShield is the new stuff and it's thinner. I had it installed in Sept on my '08 4.8. My installer said I was the first one he has put it on here in DFW-- it had just come out at the time (it's actually produced here in TX down in San Antonio). Very thin.
