What wheels, tires and camber do you have in the front?

Jeez.. Houston roads suck with debris all over the place. I drove the entire country and didn’t get as many rock chips as I did on 290.

I hate to see scratches, how do I fix it? I think grill can be glued.

Here are the pictures:

Dude you have such bad luck on 290 lol I was up there last week and I loved the 5 lanes though haha

Unfortunately true. I don’t even think the toll roads are nice anymore lol

OEM wheels with 225/45 Falkens.
Why? This has nothing to do with my Side markers

Side markers are known to pop because of tires rubbing against them during hard cornering. Are you saying they're falling off without tires ever rubbing against them?

You could see if your local Subaru dealer has paint pens and fill it in that way. I always keep one handy...

Yes, clip "A" fell off running OEM wheels. The tire is not rubbing against them or the splash guard. After removing the Helix V2 side markers I noticed the slots do not bite onto the "A" clips as good as the OEM amber markers.
The "A" clip should've been permanently attached to the side marker from factory to prevent it from coming loose. I will be adding some Quick Steel or J.B. weld on the next set of clips I get so they can stay in place permanently.
This is by far the most annoying little thing about this car.
Toyota and Subaru should've eliminated the side markers from the edge of the bumper or just relocate them.

@Chikna, I have some paint chipping like that. Like DaBooBoo21 said, buying a paint pen that comes mixed with clear coat will cover a lot of the paint chips. I have one and it works great.

Depends the color: if is a basic color: black, red will be ok, but our "halo" color is not easy because the "pearl" look. I have a paint pen from dealer and it's ok, but no the greatest, instead on my wife's RAV red the red paint pen works great.

Installed the BRZ tS (aftermarket) pinstripes. Really like the look and is way cheaper than the OEMs.

Also finished the basic door plastic cover mod. Small detail but looks great IMO.
