Default I hate 18 wheelers!!

I was driving to Rockville B&N for relaxation and to catch up on some books and I usually leave about 4-5 car length between me and the car front of me (to avoid getting hit by rocks). But on the way, a 18 wheeler decides to cut me off and throw some rocks at my bumper. What was worse was that there was a car right next to me so I wasn't able to swtch to the next lane quickly and avoid the rocks. Left some dents and scratchs on my bumper. The repairs are gonna be minimum $250...I bet the shop probably can't even match my paint.....I hate 18 wheelers I really do.

That's what 3M film is for. After you get 'er fixed, look into it.

Those are the breaks.

I have over 45k miles on my '02 and fair amount of chipping/nastiness. But you have to really look close to see it. Personally, I dislike the 3M film and I've seen where it can look worse if not maintained properly.

Do what I've done for years. Every wash, put a coat of wax on the front and mirrors. Works well for a majority of mishaps. Just my opinion.

i noticed you had a marga hills kit. and had a few questions about the rear bumper. mainly how's the quality and fit. and does is have a hole for the little tow loop thinggy like the stock.
i've seen that bulletproof can order one, do you know if that's my only option? any advice would be appreciated. thanks
