The only thing the guy didn't do on my car were the fogs.

With Aero Kit

I have the Aero Kit on my X, Rally Red, 15000 Miles and no dings as such. I have been driving in City and suburbs yet i have not seen those dings on the lower corners of rear doors. I hope this helps

Most of my diings come on the front bumper/grill area probably because I drive 1 and a half hour on interstate 3 - 4 times a month.

I've had my car for a month now and already I've spotted a decent sized chip above the left front wheel well.
I haven't even pushed the car hard yet and all my driving is via highway and clean city roads.

I notice way more kick up when it is wet. Seems the tires, when wet really pick up more debris etc.

Got it installed down here in Socal at a certified dealer/installer. Good to know you got the same deal as I did.

It's plastic so not much you can do. Fill it with some filler or epoxy and go over that with some Dr. Colorchip is about all you can do yourself.

after you fill it and put a few coats of the color over it and LIGHTLY 2000 grit wetsand it until the touch-up paint is the same height as the rest and then use a polisher to get the sanding scratches out... wait for a few weeks and then put a good coat of wax on it... you will hardly know it was there... if at all.
