Haha; more like small town usa. That is a sweet deal though. Why not raise them to 1000 and pay even less?

Okay... I just got the official quote... Hood, Fenders, and front bumper $1500...
Do all insurance company's cover this?

BTW the shop told me that he has never seen so many chips for only have 30K miles on the car. He thinks that it is some type of manufactor defect....

OH so YOU'RE the reason my insurance rates are sky high!

It's NOT your insurance companies responsibility to fix scratches on your car from daily wear and tear from road debris. If something BIG hits your car and bangs it up then that's different.

This is no different than going to the emergency room every time you get a sniffle because your "insurance pays for it" believe me...the insurance companies don't pay for anything...WE DO.

If your front end is all chipped up then repaint it and get a clear bra (or whatever) but don't ask everyone else to pay for it.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.....................
GET OFF THE SOAPBOX...................

Hahahaaha.

But seriously I don't think that they will pay for these chips. However there are thousands of chips. The shop I went to did tell me that this is quite strange the number of chips and told me that the factory might have skipped a clear coat step or the paint did not settle in the correct temp.... Hmmm What to do? what to do?

Go to any paint shop.....tell them you need your front clip painted....its not an insurance claim...you dont need a receipt....and you are willing to pay cash. It will cost about $200.
