Rock Chips

How easily does everyone elses G's front end chip? I've got two little white spots where I guess rocks hit, and a black spot in the bumper cover the same, the cars hardly a month old!!!! What gives is this normal? My old old '89 buick had less rock chips, and my 200sx has next to none!!!!!!!!!

Who drives on seldom traveled back roads to AVOID semis and their rock throwing tires....

i have 2 or 3 chips on mine as well... but i'm willing to bet they all came from my 100+mph stints on the highway...

I've got a butt-load of chips on my hood and front bumper. In Toronto they put a tonne of salt and crap on the roads in teh winter...not to metion my following close behind on the highway doesn't help either. :(

i probably got a dozen or so noticeable chips. pisses me off.
i'm gonna wait to touch it up after all the local road work is done.
city's est date- 2002
my estimated date 2010.

why do those men at work signs always come right before a bunch of guys standing around drinking coffee and scratching their cracks?

I had the same problem as well.
90% of the chips i had where on the front of the bonnet. After getting it all re-sprayed i have put on a "3M Protective" strip.
In case you dont know what it is....it's a clear strip of tape about 6" wide that you stick on you bonnet/bumper etc. You can hardly see it at all.
I'll get the digital camera out when i get it back today and take a pic or two and post them later to show you what i mean.
I have been on a few long trips since having it done and i haven't got one chip yet, normally i would get at least one after a long trip.
Will worth the NZ$60 :D :D

yeah ..when I first got my g20 i noticed that it chipped easily. I had a stanza before and never had this problem. Note also that I've changed my windscreen three times already ..that chips and cracks easy too.

Finally got the pics to show what i mean about the "3M Protective" strip that goes on the bonnet.
Sorry that they are not to good a pics as it's quite hard to get a good pic.
You can just see it on the bonnet but can hardly see it on the top of the bumper.
Hope this helps you out a bit.
Cheers

This photo is about the best as you can see it starting from the top of the 2 grills and going up the bonnet

If you don't like rock chips on your hood get a carbon fiber one. :)
