my front bumper was littered with chips from doing car rallys and driving home every night through road construction on my usual highway. one day taking it for service at the stealership, some dumb f0ck curbed the bottom of the bumper hard. he apparently confused the car for a 4x4 cause he must of sped down the ramp for the bumper to curb that bad. so i got real tight bout that and demanded my bumper be repainted. they took it to a body shop they're friendly with. i'd say 95% perfect. all the tiny indentations from the chips are still there but it's better than before. i just hope the paint they used is better than OEM

You guys are misunderstand my fustration and anger. I can deal with dozens of chips, but paint cracking on top of my hood (near the windshield wiper) is NOT acceptable at 16 month (even if you never wash or wax or park outside. Which is not the case for me) !!
any suggestions on how i should talk to the dealer about this next week? |

Seriously, just look at the dealerships that are on this forum and talk to them. If none of them are close to you then you'll just have to walk in and talk with the manager. It's not a GTR but they'd treat you better than if you had a Versa

I see this same complaint on every car forum i am on. Blame the EPA. My Civic CI paint has crows feet all over the hood which HOA says is envoirnmental "fallout." Sure it is, that's why it's cracking from the inside out.

Subaru also has some horrible paint as well. Paint quality overall across many manufacturers is getting worse due to environmental regulations.
