Its only small dots from where the paint has chipped but it still sucks. No other mechanical problems though.

What up fellow J-towner!

Anyways, Anybody that has issuses with the damn paint chipping on hood ect should just get a clear bra. I got the front bumper and hood from ebay for only $40. it's clear so you can't even tell that it is there.

YEa you think you have problems now with paint chipping, a front bra will make you forget about paint chips with the marks and scratches it will leave... I take it you've never had a Bra on a car before or, never have taken one off a car before.. They really do more damage than good. Once you put it on, you'll never want to take it off..

Only if you bye pos bra. I have put on and taken off bra from every car I owned, Only had issues with one because it the a ****ty bra from the dealer. The bra's I have used on my ;ast car, and on my lancer is basically clear 3m plastic. You can't even hardly tell it is there, and it leaves NO marks. Bras don't make more problems if you know what you are doing.

I've had it for a few months and the window squeak when they go up and down. kind of annoying. But besides that it's amazing!

I posted this about a week ago and my motor got screwed up today. I really don't know what the problem is, but hope to hear the warranty will cover it. I'm going to hear from the dealership tomorrow.

Dealer called today and they're charging me 95 bucks for a diagnostic test. They told me that the Short ram intake from RRM might be the cause, But they said that wouldn't until they run test on it. That was 11:34 am today.

Here's what happened to me. I was on the freeway and was going to pass a car. i stepped on the gas at around 3,500-4,000rpm after that, the check engine light came on and when i stepped on the gas the car wouldn't response to it. So i get out of the freeway and stop at some gas station. I turn off the car and open the hood to see if anything obvious is wrong. Nothing, everything good. The car turns on, but when you try to accelerate the motor just rumbles. This happened Saturday morning. It's being three days and the dealership is getting around to my car today. I am totally sad about my car
