stone chips stone chips

Ok, so I got the car in June 2008, Its a really nice car, except for one problem. The car gives itself stone chips! The front tires kick up stones and throw them at the dog leg area on the quarter panel. I put on some Rally Armor mudflaps on the front and rear but they aren't helping at all. I talked to a Mitsubishi Rep. the other day at a PA dealership and he said that the problem is caused by the roads and not the car, I showed him other vehicles and they didn't have any stone chips in that area, its obvious that this is occurring due to the poor design on that area of the car.
