Looks like mine has started to peel as well. Just hit 1000 miles. To me repainting is a wast of time unless they can fix whats causing the issue. Looks like a design flaw. Its way too tight and its in an area that gets pressure and the weaker of the two materials is gonna give every time. Looks like I'm off to making some calls. I'm truly dreading this.

What would happen if we just left it alone? Would it continue to peel off? If it peels due to the tight fitting joints, would it keep peeling away from the joints?
I'm not sure if mine is peeling or not because honestly, I don't notice stuff that small.

At first the paint gets pulled, then the paint folds up on itself, then it ultimately gives in and tears. My guess is once it tears its probably done and it won't get any worse. Every Nismo I see I check the bumper and every one is at one of these stages.
