first of all, i traveled from FL to UT twice in Nov last year, it is rwd.

i had a LOTS LOTS of rock chips and a crack on the front bumper(right below the passenger side fog light assembly).

head light and fog light assemblies had a lot of rock chips too.

this was right after hand car wash and waxing...notice the rock chips...


and the tires worn out so much.

i gained 35000 miles within 9 monthes from purchase of new vehicle.

oh, and a lot of small rock chips on the windshield.

and no oem NAV!!!

i reget i did not get oem NAV! and the clear bra!

i am paying $240 more than i used to pay... but less monthes.

i deserve it! i am happy with my new car!

my car is at the dealer getting the clear bra re-installed due to the miscommunication between the dealer and installer.

they are losing some money because of it is 3rd time installing my clear bra!

i deserve the perfection w/ huge amount of money of paint wrap.

Fist your install looks great i need to do this when it warms up here in IL.

second my black car looks like that also when you get really close! first time i didnt put the clear bra on a car?? but i do lease, so this time when i picked up my car i just never had time to get back and just kind of got past the point of doing it. i do lots of high speed travel on the xpressways so its taken its toll the fun of black in Chicago
