Am I to just accept the fact that the paint job on our S2K is below average? The paints chips I have are mostly located below the side skirts. They aren't small chips---the largest being 3/4". It seems like the paint just peeled off.
Has anyone here have similar situation (not referring to chipping, but referring to peeling )?
I don't have any other chips that I'm aware of except for the lower part of the side skirts.
Anyhow, I'm taking my S to the dealer. Not sure what they'll tell me but I still can't believe that my Volvo and Tacoma which go through a much tougher driving situation don't have chips like the ones I have with the S.

^ They'll pretty much tell you to get over it, albeit in kinder words. I wouldn't waste their time.
Just keep pushing. Document everything. I had my paint thickness measured all over the car and presented that to them, letters from my detailer, etc. I am also in the car business and was able to show them how much thinner my paint was than other cars. If the service manager wont budge, schedule a meeting with the district manager, then keep going up the ladder, also make sure you start with a complaint to Honda corporate. When they finally relented, they told me it was because "they got the impression that I wasnt going to go away..."
Mabye mine was a special case, but squeak and mabye someone will grease. Good luck.
