I had hoped for the best but I took a pin-head sized chip to the front edge of the hood, a large one on the passenger fender (not to the metal though) and a few on the front bumper and passenger side hood, and there are a couple of scratches and a tiny chip on the passenger a-pillar. Possibly some on the passenger mirror, too. :mad:

I already had some minor scratches and chipping on the front bumper as it pretty much goes with the territory if you drive your car around here (big bugs, etc.) and I figured I would have to get the car resprayed at some point but I was thinking that point would be a lot more than 4K miles. :shakes head:

Clear bra the entire car. :tiphat:

If I was going to clear bra mine I'd do the entire hood. I hate seeing that line across 1/4 of the way up. Even with the better quality thinner/harder stuff it's still there. Always been a pet peeve of mine.

I'll probably just drive it a lot the rest of the summer and get even more chips and stuff and then I'll either get it fixed or get something else. :ugh2:

The front already needed resprayed and this would be a good opportunity to do the door handles and mirrors painted solid red though, so there is that excuse... :ugh:

Maybe I could just glue some tin foil on there.
