I'd have to say I'm pretty pissed about that. My clear bra is ordered, but I guess I didn't get it soon enough.

I have a couple too. I heard that Mothers makes a chip repair kit that will make your touch up paint flush, so that you can hardly see it. I ordered some this week. It is expensive, $20.00, but it will be nice to have the clean job.

Same here, 2700 miles. I filled in about 10 paint chips with touch up paint a few days ago. Then I clayed the whole front end today. My car's up on jack stands anyway while the wheels are being polished. It won't go anywhere until the X-Pel kit gets installed next Saturday.

I used Langka chip repair and it works pretty good.

i would be very happy to have 2, heh. ive got about 500++ atleast. not to mention the several dozen pits in each headlight lense and about 10 pits in the windshield. all of this in only 6500miles.

rockchips can be repaired and windshields can be replaced.
go out and have fun with your car!

I self-installed the Xpel film at less than 100 miles and haven't experienced paint chipping yet. I strongly suggest the bumper segment, at the very least.

Sadly, without either a traditional bra or the 3M clear film, you can't expect your luck to hold out forever..
