Mine looks like a moon crater. Daily highway driving will do that to your front bumper

We have the same problem with our new Honda CRV as well. None of our old Honda has this problem. Screw water-based paint.

Mine was like that too....looked horrible! I was thinkin the same thing, I just thought that the person who owned it before just drove too close on the highway or something, I now have it repainted.

Honda paint is terrible. My only gripe with the company. I wish they would make it an option "paint that doesn't suck +500"

I had the same problem on my 2000 Eclipse and now I have it on my S2000. Mostly from driving on the local interstate to work and back. My solution will be to get a beater car to commute and the S2k to cruise.

I'd say have someone key it and put insurance to use.
