I scratched the bottom of the road leaving In-N-Out today, good thing it isn't visible unless you stick your head grill level.

I scraped up the bottom of the front bumper pulling too far forward into a parking spot. Grrr. At least it's not visible.

Was getting rid of my dealer plate holders and as I was unscrewing the number plate, I unscrewed one too quickly and the plate just swung down on the remaining screw leaving a deepish scratch in my bumper.

I usually drive mine in manual mode, and use the stick to shift gears. A couple days ago, I put it in drive and while moving I hit the stick up to shift and put it into neutral. My poor poor transmission.

Spent 5 hours to prep and Opti-Coat. The next day I wanted a can of Invisible Glass to clear off the dealer smudges from the inside; drove through the rain and pulled left and right 720's in the nearly empty parking lot. Leaving the lot had to wait for traffic and the officer in the parked unmarked flashed his hi-beams 3 times (3=free) and I replied with a single flash (1=done). I'm still smiling.

Note: The car rinsed clean - love the Opti-Coat.

Wiping is ok... just be careful. I carry some of these in my glovebox 'cause we have a bunch of dirty sh!thawks that hang around work...

Scraping the bottom lip every other week. Sucks because this car wasn't as low as my other car.

Note** I'll get over it soon. I'm going to lower it after all

Parked under a tree because the FR-S gets intensely hot in the sunlight (can barely touch the wheel). But a rainstorm came along later and the branches left some scratches in the clearcoat on the roof. Is there a safeway to buff them out without going to a dealer, or will that dull the finish where I use the stuff?
