Noticed the front lip in the center and lower portion of front bumper is littered with stone chips, note that i just repaited the lip and the front last summer and it wasnt there when i took the car out this summer, F*ck Me. Someone really sprayed me with a ton of rocks Could have been by end of last year and i didnt notice but still

 

That's what happens when you drive the car before the sweeper go by, all the salt, rocks and crap all over the road.

 

one of the worst parts about washing your car is you are finally close enough to see all of the minor marks and scratches and chips.. lol. being a DD I wash mine once a week or every other week and I see new **** all the time, arg.

 

that's why I never wash my car - it's like opening up a can of party worms.

 

^ haha

And nah man its not the sweepers or the **** on the road, i have probably hit up a construction road at one point, im 80% on highway now days and its pretty clean there

 

Sorry to hear that...

I know that when it comes time to repaint my bumper and lip I'm going to 3M the ***** outta dem.

 

Same here.

I was doing a 75 mile a day commute on the freeway and it just raped my front bumper.

 

i'm with Kiriller, get in the wrong construction zone and you're done... any type of condensed high speed highway driving is going to do this as well.

it's unavoidable... I haven't seen anyone with more than a few thousand km's without the traditional rock chip banter (nothing necessarily serious, but those tiny little specs etc). Pretty much nothing you can do about it, part of life if you choose to drive your car anywhere and don't pre-plan your route / own hybrid technology that omits a signal causing all large trucks to stay the f away from you haha.

Worst rock chip I picked up I was going 20km/h through a construction zone on charles st, ****ing dump truck in front of me lost traction momentarily and kicked a HUGE mother right into my front bumper, touched it up but it's visibile from a few feet away... then again, we're all our own worst nightmares when it comes to scrutiny lol.

I think i'm doing decent, post some high res pics though, i'm honestly curious to see how much damage you could have possibly incurred over 1 summer sans anything overly memorable.

 

I had 3M put on the front and about 18inches onto the hood.....best thing I ever did, this has saved the paint. The 401 on some days is like driving in a sand storm and the paint takes a hammering. It's not cheap but it's definitely worth it....the guy I goes to can do cash jobs...
