Oddly, you are showing coverage on the low priority areas -- you have it almost perfectly backwards. All the soft plastic trim will be much more resilient against rock chips because it flexes a teeny bit. In contrast, the hard plastic parts (ie, mirrors) are more vulnerable, and the sheet metal parts (hood) are the most vulnerable.
If I was doing this in order of priority or benefit, I'd start with the leading edge of the hood and do about 20-25% back, then maybe the mirrors. And only then would I worry about other parts of the vehicle. On my last few cars, I have not covered the soft plastic parts of the front end at all.
I think you can ignore the wheel arches for sure. Maybe do the rocker panel, but you should plan on using much thicker film down there.
