Default rock chips!!!

I've heard all the tails of the rock chips in the front bumper clear bra blah blah but like DAMN. All of the rock chips I'm getting are all on the fuggin hood and front fenders, to a much lessor extent.

3,000 miles on the clock and at this rate the hood will have to be repainted in 3 months or buy a fugly carbon fiber hood.


I've never had a vehicle's paint chip this easy and bad before. POS

Nissan paint sucks. I'll need a bumper re-spray in about a year.

I've got 25,000 miles on my car and the front bumper is shot! There are also way too many paint chips on the hood. I had a Black 2001 Sentra SE with 48,000 miles on it when I traded in for the Z, the Z looks much worse with half the miles.

I've got 32K on my 03 and I've never had a problem with them until I messed around with my friend's modded mustang GT with DR's on it, . After that one little run my whole front bumper is chipped up.
