I just have to get this out of my system. I HATE that the paint on the front of these cars is so thin and brittle! Everyone who knows me from the S2K meets knows me as the "anal one". So I like taking really good care of my car. After I came home from the last Orlando meet, I found the first chip in my hood after a year and 2600 miles. Its so small though, I got over it. Then, last weekend, I went to the Rolex 24 in Daytona. By the time I got back, the car had traveled about 350 miles and was in the rain for 48 hours. So, I just finished washing the car, and found another good sized chip further up the hood AND a dimple in the bumper like something small (rock size) hit it but didn't chip the paint. WHAT DO I DO?! I have the factory spoiler, so I can't put a bra on the car. If anyone has any suggestions, please help. At least try to make me feel better and tell me your stories.

 

if it matters, mine has a billion chips. Windshield has a billion chips too.

15k+ miles.

Sounds like stoneguard would help. Costs around a grand for material and to have an expert install it.

 

I can feel your pain. But look on the brighter side, you can have 2 small chips and an indentation AND live in Tallahassee. Be glad you're at where you're at. 2 out of 3 isn't as bad as it could be.

 

Find your local StoneGaurd Dealer. Got mine done for $500. Also protect those very expensive HID light..

 

OK, so lets say I go ahead with the StoneGuard. What can I do about the damage that's already been done besides having two body panels repainted for about a million dollars? Thanks for the advice though. How long will the Stoneguard last?

 

It may sound crude, but for a black paint color like mine the application of a black indelible marker pen effectively hides the occasional paint chip that appears as a white spot.

 

Better call MAACO!!!
