Lol that is not from rock chips.... Id take it to your dealer, and have them replace bumber or something

***Zeuceone*** · 03-23-2008, 04:41 PM

well its not rock chips. it more like wear and tear. theres moving at those two points so its gonna rub and cause chipping. if you make a big eneough seen you can get it fixed under warranty.

Fishytron · 03-23-2008, 05:27 PM

Has the OP ever removed the bumper possibly to clear headlights or something?

bizzybearfigiblue · 03-23-2008, 06:10 PM

this IS covered under warranty... u should be able to get it fixed... that was a defect in the preparation of the bumper b4 the paint was applied...

they will/should cover this... if not raise hell...

SiCivic83 · 03-23-2008, 06:30 PM

Wow that is bad! You should take it to the dealership and give them hell. They'll probably have to fix it for you.

oh of course! There's no need to raise hell if they have no problems fixing it.

My FBP is 3 weeks and 1 day old and already has a good 10 rock chips on the hood, 1 being of pretty decent size. I also have one on the back 1" to the right of the license plate bracket. Hell if I know how that one got there... just noticed it yesterday.
