Get the clear bra ... and also avoid driving behind big trucks and keep a bigger gap from the car in front of you ... might help a little bit i guess

A sharp peice of rock jammed into the lower part of my front bumper and now there's a huge gash in it. I don't even know how to fix it.

go on the wash and wax forums and look for the thread about touchup123... or just google it. it applies like wax then buffs right off. it'll fill in the chips.

I bought my S2000 with the front end already scarred and road-rashed to death, so I really don't even notice any new chips when they occur on the front bumper.

There are times when I regret not searching a bit more and finding one that was not in such conditon, but having a car in prestine condition would simply prohibit me mentally from wanting to drive the car.....and we all know that this car needs to be driven.

Silent Dancer-where did you get your mud flaps-that is kind of what I was envisioning if I could find something that didn't look lame; could you post a pic of yours? Thanks all! Sorry about the retread Moose.

I've used 3M clearbra and it's hardly noticable.
