Fender Edge Paint Chips!!!

DIGItonium · 05-06-2010, 12:20 PM

Have you guys checked the fender edge? The paint is chipping on the front and rear fender edge. I don't see how we're going to be able to fix or prevent rust from forming.

Yup, I have this on all four of my fenders. Most of them are really tiny, but there are a couple big ones as well. I wonder how we could fix this??

There's 1 or 2 on my driver side as well, but this one is the most noticeable. Already has some rust too

Gonna get a touch up real soon though

Ah, see I don't have any in that area, mine are all on the "wheel arch" portion of the fenders.

Man... we're gonna need some of these:

Seriously... I can't imagine using door edge guards for the fenders.

Oh sweet! I'm definitely going to order the XPEL product... I can't believe it chips at the edge, which is something the 350Z didn't have.

looks real cheap

I have several tiny ones around the edges of the fenders (in the arch part). Is this where you guys are talking about?

Yes, and I've been waiting for one of the vendors to get them for us Stateside, but to no avail.

They also protect against other car's doors.
