Alright. Thread cleaned up a little.

Feel free to keep nonsensically-arguing in the other thread.

I can't believe some of you don't have clearbra on your Subarus, expecially if you drive in the winter up here. The paint chips when you look at it wrong.

My front-end paint chips came free of charge...

I didn't know about it until after I bought my car, I would have done my entire car.

Yah, a clearbra does seem like a bandaid to the real problem (litterally). I've always wondered if it would be feasible to have the entire car clearcoated or somthing right after getting it.

I'll likely replace my hood eventually anyway. . . and it's too late for the rest of my front end. It came stock with pinprick paint chips in the bumper

Hi Labmonkey. Yah, but that was a few days ago. Today I feel more like Socrates. Regardless, please try to stay on topic. This is the serious thread.

TIA,
