I feel your pain, I got 3 rock chips in 2 months this summer....


edit: these all were in my windshield, if you need to touch up the paint, goto the dealership and buy a little bottle of the touch up paint. ( I did this with my old Mustang, I assume Honda has the same thing for our cars )

thanks for your reply jason. i may just go to the body shop and repaint the whole hood. because that chip is really big and it is dented.

That is crazy.

Consider yourself lucky it didn't hit the windshield or else it probably would've dented your skull!!

I think you should use this oppurtunity to get a nice CF hood.

yea, probably this year i won't get enough cash for a CF hood. and CF hood is not on my wish list yet.
my wish list is:
mugen exhaust
18" BBS LM
OEM hardtop

it may takes 2 years to have my wishes come ture.

look in superpages.ca

dents unlimited (mobile dent repair, without taking ur car in to the shop, cheap good fix)
warning: they do not guaranteed that they can fix every type of dent

colourworks (mobile paint repair, these guys fixed a rock chip on my fender for $150)
again, they have limitations to the type of chips they can fix.

so far, both these companies have helped restore a smooth paint finish and still not too heavy on my wallet.
