3M Clear Bra/Lamin-X is your friend. Headlights covered, leading edge of bumper, leading edge of hood, grill and mirror housings. It's kept my car free of major pits and scratches in the front for about 8 years now. When it turns yellow (about 5 or so years) you just peal and reapply.

Only your windshield is still susceptible to destruction, but in Florida the insurgence companies must replace a cracked windshield so there isn't a major concern there... in fact I still have a crack free windshield, even with my fair share of drafting, Nascar style.
