Hood got chipped :( - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I posted a thread a little bit ago about something similar. You buy a used car it already has chips and such when you get it so you don't really think about it. When you buy a new car you notice EVERYTHING! Lol! Sucks for sure, but it happens. I've got two little chips on my bumper already. It adds character

Seibon CF hood is ~$650. So if it's more than that you can justify an upgrade

I took it right before I posted

Nah, sadly it just happens. I found a third chip today....lol. Oh well. She's gonna get pretty beat up when I start autoxing her.

I figure that I have two options. I park the car in the garage and she stays perfect or I beat the living piss out of her like she likes and she gets some chips.

Me personally, I'll take option two. Car is too much fun to let it rot on my garage

How about fixing the chip then adding a clearbra to protect from additional damage? My clearbra is taking all kind of abuse from these crappy N. CA roads.. I've used small amount of touchup (bottom sie fender) using a toothpick.

Marcoscrdo · 03-18-2013, 07:12 PM

Now i have to drive around with THAT!

Ugh no comment

But thanks for all the tips guys!

Yeah clear bra def sounds like a plan

OrbitalEllipses · 03-18-2013, 07:13 PM

Did you see what was on my car at the meet? That's NOTHING compared to the monstrosity I suffered. Rock chips are horsecrap.

IloveBaldEagles · 03-18-2013, 07:23 PM

I honestly was expecting a chunk of paint missing and possibly a dent. But oh my god.

I've got a similar chip around the same area. I plan to just dot some touch up paint on it.

BoostinIX · 03-19-2013, 07:00 AM

6k miles later of all beltway, mine's trashed. Just part of the game.

briang0901 · 03-19-2013, 07:35 AM

I must be blind cause that is the smallest blemish I've ever seen, why wouldn't you use touch-up to fix that...

sierra · 03-19-2013, 07:47 AM

I just ordered this because it's got the clear coat too.
My bonnet took a hit from a small rock and copped 3 small scratches and a dent but nobody can see it in the sun because it's too bright.

Dude, that chip is tiny. Just use touch-up paint or pen to fix it. Just a tiny bit of paint will do (I recommend using a tooth-pick).
