The chips I have on my good your able to see the aluminum! The bumper is still in blemished.

$600, does that include the whole front end? I still have to see how much the place I want to go to charges.

this might sound dumb but when i read "rocky road" i thought of the ice cream and i thought u had dropped icecream on ur cloth seats or something lol, but those chips were gonna happen sooner or later at least u got it out of the way cuz it hurts no matter what, good thing it wasnt a worse

Brittle paint

Gang,

I don't really believe that it is so much the thickness of the paint as I do the fact that it is so brittle. Since August of 02 when I took delivery of my 03 350 I have noticed chips in areas that I have never seen on any new car I have purchased since 1964. That and the bug kills that just sink into the paint on all of the new cars are ridiculous. But the body shops just love it.

$600 included the entire front bumper, and up to the top of the headlights on both the fenders and the hood, along with the mirrors. I had a couple tiny chips on my 350z on other parts of the car, but the parts that I covered this time on the 370z looked like they were peppered with a shotgun a few times on the old 350.:shakes head:
