if there's one thing ive noticed after getting the s2000, its that it chips like no other car ive ever had. The paint seems extremely soft and the windshield must be made of some sort of chip-happy glass, lol

Paint chips plenty, glass chips none. Maybe this is an 06 improvement. Of course I only have 15K.

Its not the angle of the windshield, its just the cheap glass Honda used. Some people have switched to PPG glass which seems to be more durable.
