Even where I got hit in the front by the tail light shrapnel is dented but the paint is completely intact.


My FR-S has more spots on it than my wife's '05 Red Mustang. And of course, with red the primer is white so it is always very obvious which doesn't help. No big deal really though, most of them could be touched up if I wanted to take the time to do it.


As far as I know (and I've put 99.99999% of the miles on it) it has never been hit by a big enough object for me to even notice.
