So far I have chips on the bumper, hood, a-pillar, fender edges, fenders, trunk lid and roof. Now mind you, I keep my car extremely clean and I don't tailgate. I know many will also mention how I should get a clear bra, but half of the chips are in areas where the clear bra wouldn't even be covering.

There are some good deals around my way on the EVO-X and I am very close to just cutting my losses and trading her in. I love everything else about the car, but I don't know that I can deal with these issues. How do you guys deal with this out of curiosity? Are you just chalking it up to regular wear and tear?
Rattles? I didn't buy a mercedes, it comes with the territory.

As for paint chips ... chip happens.
