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.

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.

Clear bra the entire car.

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.

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...

Maybe I could just glue some tin foil on there.

Davey · 08-29-2016, 08:46 PM

I mean... It's metal, right?

Finally got the Zspeed undertray on the other day. Fit like a glove
