I swear...I only had my car for 1000 miles and I have gotten over 30 pin sized rock chips over the front end. Not even Honda paint would do this......cheap mitsu

Happens to everyones (especially tarmac black) since mitsu doesnt exactly have the best paint.

I bought black too, and it is hard to ignore the many chips and nicks on the front bumper. I will eventually have the whole car painted in a year or two. I will definitely be getting a clear bra to help protect it after getting fresh paint.

Hell, I even have small spots in my door jambs where the door attaches to the car that are showing rust. I just cringe and try not to look. I baby my car too! Yep, Mitsu paint is so pitiful. I try to forget that it is a $30k car and enjoy the drive.

i have 15k miles with zero rock chips on the front end. Best mod to get is a clear bra

That's the one downside to buying used. I got my '05 with 12k miles on it with no clear bra.

i have 15,000 miles on my evo, but luckily, i have only acouple of minor chips. a little touch up paints helps out...

i make it a point not to tailgate people when driving...

they should have charged an extra 500$ for better paint... you'd think they would learn after making this car or 20 years that every thinks their paint sucks...

I try not to tailgate either, but sometimes stuff gets thrown up on it anyway. I do have to admit that most of it was like that before I bought the car.

guys ,the nature of paint isnt a cure all,if a sharp object strikes it,no matter how far away it is,it will chip...force+ mass+impact=chips...nothing short of getting a cover when you first get your car will stop it from happening..

i drive highway a lot, and let's just say i've chosen to ignore looking at my front bumper/hood closely a while ago. ignorance is bliss.

2nd week I owned my evo I got on the expressway...was cruising at 60 and a flat bed cut me off and while he was cutting me off he hit a dip in the highway and showered me with rocks...I give up on owning a nice car.
