Will add pics wen finished.

It's also mainly because the car is so damn low.

Definitely this too but the actual make up of paint has changed. I've had older cars that were much lower and barely had any marks on the front bumper after years of driving.

So far, its been perfect. The top end isn't as aggressive as I would like it to be, but from 3k to 4k it is perfect. The only complaint I have is the top end. Just cruising around it isn't too loud. Keep in mind I got the 5 inch mufflers as well.

My WRB has been better than average. Of course I get chips here and there, but nothing like on my last black car. Just within the last few weeks I got a bunch of new chips that I plan to repair. I'm just thankful I don't see the thousands of speckles.


I have 12k miles and my front end looks great IMO, I'll take a close-up pic of you want
I have never owned a car that has took a beating like this before. Never. This is since January. This is just three sections of the car. I have more on the hood and other places.

Dayum @BadMoon your bumper got raped by the winter, that sucks. Mine is not so bad off, even with the small rocks and salt being thrown at it over the winter (and still today with these crap roads here).

I was looking at the 5" mufflers as well. Hmmmmm. Wish I could hear this thing in person. I think the 4" mufflers would be way too loud for me though so I'll probably stick with the 5".

Thanks for the input!

Well the good news is it's not as bad as it looks. I went out and hit the entire bumper with scratch x. It cleaned it up a lot. I was going to dr color chip tonight. However I'm going to wait and check it out under the sun. The bad news is I have a about 15 decent chips to deal with. I would say that's pretty normal after the winter we had. Not the 50 or 60 it looked like.

I was going to get 4 originally! But 5 ended up being perfect. If you plan on doing headers, I definitely recommend 5.
