Paint does suck, I will agree with that...I bought mine last year and I told the dealer that i wanted the bumper resprayed...Well they covered everything with Touch-up paint....the color doesnt even match and it looks HORRIBLE. Ive got so many chips on my bumper im about to sand the whole thing and respray it myself...Maybe this is my excuse for my body kit...

No, the angles on our cars suck for paint chips, too many deflections from rocks. Don't follow people so closely and you won't have as many paint chips. ;)

I agree, the paint is very, very soft... I used a plastic scraper to pry the mercury emblem off the trunk and it still put a small chip in it. I was also smoothing out my 3rd brake light cover with a credit card and was forming it around the edge and the credit card chiped the paint as well. I've been doing my best to stay away from others while driving. dosen't always help with the sand they lay down here for ice. Got a chip in the whidshield yesterday. nOt even a month old and I have to have it repaired/replaced grrrrrr
