So.. What im thinking is.. either they caused them.. Or they ARE chips but they didn't properly paint the bumper before.. Since rock chips aren't supposed to remove paint off to the plastic..

Opinions? What can I do?

Any pics? If the bumper has repained at a body shop it could be an adhesion issue. I put 20k miles on my car and never noticed any chips going to the black plastic.

Pics would really help.
