Wish i would have

Yeah, it’s going to happen. I can imagine being frustrated if you planned on PPFing the front and now this requires extra prep, but if not, trying to prevent and touch up every rock chip is a recipe for unnecessary stress.

Well that was the plan... but now I have moved on and now thinking of removing the clear bra that is on now

That's why you need Xpel Tracwrap. Fairly cheap. Applied in minutes. I didn't care for properly lining things up. Just covered all front bumper, had many overlaps and partial hood. Removed upon Ultimate Plus installation.

Bought it from AMZ as it was faster.

It's a car and cars get rock chips. It's okay. The next owner understands this, don't stress. You should see mine after 3,000 miles. ?

You are just like @mokleen before. I had to get it thru to him that nature is a bitch sometimes. He almost did what you did too, buy a repainted replacement bumper cover til' i asked him "so what are you gonna do then when another rock chip happens..?"

now he rocks his chips proudly like i do. ?

one day i'll post up a clear photo of my front end to show you how much my car has been thru, my front end looks sand blasted. ??

It's true.
You just learn to say fuck it.

After 20 track days I basically can’t see out my windshield if the sun hits it.

20 track days of fun or keeping it in the garage stressing over it? I choose fun.

Funny enough, some people don't understand that when buying the car second hand w/ less than 5k miles. Like at least 40% of used car buyers expect the car to be in Pebble Beach Concours D'elegance condition lol

Listen I drove my CU Later home from Buffalo Ny down to deep Long Island and like fucking clockwork got stuck behind a dump truck with an “empty” bed that was throwing sand and rocks.. zipped past it finally and had quiet a few chips… touched it up and ppf’d the whole car but the blemishes will forever be there.. just gotta accept it bro trust me I’m probably WAAAAAY more ocd and anal about that shit than you are and I just accepted it… step ten feet back and if you can’t notice it by a glance trust me no one else will notice it either unless they are friends trying to get in your head

Like I've said. I've already moved on. Not even going to ppf now. If I need to later down the road I'll have it resprayed.

I wash/ wipe my car down everyday, wipe the wheels all the way to the inner barrel, dust out my interior, ceramic coat my car once every month to add a layer of ceramic, and put a car cover over it every night. That's every day for the past 2 1/2 years.... you wanna challenge me on who's more OCD and anal? ??

Sounds like you have a lot of free time on your hands. Ahhh, I remember those days.

True. The other way too: I'm selling a 2006 Evo and peeps want me to document every chip so they can deduct each one from the price. ? The car is 16yo for Christ's sake.

Unfortunately at this time Dr colorchip doesn't offer the paint code at this time

Call DR. Color Ship, they can made special orders. There were able to prepare a touch up for my Reflection Blue.

When I get time and my schedule allows I will have to do this. More than likely (because I know myself) I will probably forget. ? ? ?
