Rear Bumper Paint Promblem!
Hey fellas, as i was glancing at my Evo today i noticed something that is very disturbing. It appears my paint is peeling where the rear bumper meets the body, i have not taken off the rear bumper or anything like that so i dont even know how this happened. So my question is do you think the dealer will do anything about it? If they did will they repaint it or just get a whole new bumper?
Heres a pic,

I had the same problem and they replaced the whole rear bumper for me in Japan. There are actually quite a few of us here that had the same problem.
Here's mine:

The paint on my S2000 scratches and chips so easily. The WRX I had prior to the Honda wasn't any better either. I guess that's one of the areas the manufacturer cuts corners.

Yea, mine is doing that too. I just chalk it up to the car's build quality being TRASH.
I'd take it to the dealer but they tell me that it was because I put gas in the car hence rocks came up from when I was driving on the moon and chiped it. Nothing they can do, kthnxbai.
If you're dealers aren't douche bags, like freehold mitsu is, I'd bring it back.

Wow, I have a GTS and noticed this on my front bumper where it meets by the wheel well. I just left it because I figured dealer would hassle me about it, but I'm definitely going to print this thread out and bring it with me.
