Well, here's my brother's 2007 Subaru STi. It has 45,000 miles on her, and yes, she is very dirty (bugs). But you'll notice there are only 4-5 black spots from where the paint has been taken off, and that's because we dropped it by accident when we took the front bumper off. Only one of them I see being a rock chip, and that's the one at the top of the bottom lip.
(VERY high res
Here.)
Keep in mind, we've driven from Connecticut to Florida and back in this thing, so she's seen her fair share of roads. Used to be a northern car, and we used to offroad it, hard. (So hard it's missing her fender linings...good times.
) So you're saying that since 2007, the paint has degraded in quality? This is the SAME EXACT Satin White Pearl color code as the Whiteout FR-S.
