Default Sport design grill

I have a question for anyone that have the 03 sport design grill, are you experiencing any excessive paint chipping?? I had my grill for less than 6 months (bought new from Carson Toyota) and the paint is chipping off everywhere, and to make matters worse, I don't drive my car often, just mainly on the weekends.

one of the things my lemon had wrong with it was paint "falling" off the fender and yes my lip is brutal for stone stone chips and the grill as well. i had it repainted on warranty once but the lip is still covered in chips

I guess no one has an answer to my original question! My grill was bought from Carson Toyota for my 01 IS, and I've been experiencing a lot paint chipping on the grill, and wanted to know if others are experiencing the same thing!

Yes, my 03 s/d grill is all chipped up. Do you know if the dealer has any touchup paint for this?
