So looking at the rear where most drift/racing dmg occurs(on race tracks of course!)

It looks like it will all have to be do e at a body shop...

This sucks hard!

So.. don't fix it? Or.. don't crash? Or.. don't drift your brand new car?

"...there's no airbag either. TVR argument always been 'well, don't crash it then.'"

If you can't afford to fix it, don't race it.

Even you drive on the freeway, rock chip will damage the front bumper and windshield. You can either fix it or leave it as is.

And how many cars can you name -- cars that you would actually want -- that have bolt-on rear quarters or affordable clams?

LoL... what a waste of a thread.

GG guys.

/delete thread.

Don't seem to like it.

Who the fuck said it will be whilst the car is brand new.......

Could happen first day of getting the car could be 5 years from now still going to be a bitch to replace it.

Could also happen when driving out the drive way...
Someone could crash into you.

These are two different places than you originally implied they would happen. Unless you are fortunate enough to live on a race track. If shit happens out in the street then it happens, no tears, cant be avoided. But if you are flinging a car around a track that is different, you can expect damage at some point.

My Miata was peppered with this shit when I bought it. First order of business after purchase is a detail and having a clear bra applied. I'd do the whole car if it didn't cost $3k+.

Hmm... how good of an idea is that to place on the upcoming FR-S? I recall my friend mentioned this service, but I'm honestly not aware how it works. I'm looking online, and it reminds me of my iPhone skin protector... lol. Is it well... going to have bubble marks or anything like that?

I would do the front and the hood, (and probably the rear bumper), but not the whole car. It's a good idea to protect the paint though, but for 3K+, I'm not so sure.
