Default Lexus Anti-chip paint...

Anyones knows in what areas of the car the anti chip paint is applied?

Some people said this anti chip paint is only applied on door bottoms below bumper, others said is on the wings and bonnet and others, on the rocker panels and lower fender areas behind the wheels where stones are thrown.

Amazing marketing you must admit. Make the car out of plastic and advertise it as a feature

Maybe I need to take a picture of the chip I have on my rear panel. Nothing is chip proof. :P

Or maybe I should take it to my dealership and bust them for false advertising!!

Don't feel like the Lone Ranger on that one. I'm very disappointed with the number of chips in my paint and glass.

That's the downside to the Blue Onyx Pearl color on your car. My colleague's BOP IS350 has the same problem. I'm pretty happy with the way my crystal white paint job looks after nearly 15 months; the only real damage is a small chip where I banged a hoe on the rear bumper. (Boy, that came out sounding a lot dirtier than I intended. I'm talking about garden tools. )

Clear bra is a must for the darker colors IMO.
