All you do is advertise your stuff and still no vendor tag shows up for you. Must piss off the vendors that actually pay to advertise here.

I've actually PM'd moderators to find out about becoming a vendor, but I have not received any word back. I want to do it right and not step on anyones toes, so if you know a better way to get them to respond to me it would be greatly appreciated.

You have to pm Tran. If you have tried, then I apologize. Just irks me when I see people do that. So, I'm sorry.

I agree the paint sucks, everyday I notice something new, light scratches and little paint chips missing from most likely rocks on the 95. I love my car (not as much as wife and kids) and probably only reason I notice each and every blemish on it. I also let my daughters know not to let their bikes touch it, though I have a nice scratch on driver side front fender most likely from my beautiful girls.

I bought two of these door guards from Stealy Phil recently and really like them. They are very light, rather thick, seem non-abrasive (on a clean car) and easy to apply/remove. I have a rather narrow two-car garage and they give me good piece of mind, without needing to have something hanging from the ceiling in between my two cars.

I absolutely hate door dings, so they were a good investment for me.

No scratches, but road rash out the a$$ on my front bumper with only 6k on it. Is the paint on these cars that soft??

Nope. The front is just flat.

scratches are going to happen, the trick is to keep them at the top of the clear coat and avoid deep ones. chips on the nose and gills are the hard ones to prevent. might want to read the junk man's threads and watch the video's, they will give you the basic info on how to correct, prevent, and avoid the scratches. the rest is up to you!

How do you check for scratches? The point I am trying to make is stand outside on a bright day and look everything over ( looks great ok). Next at night preferably garaged. Take a bright light 75,000 lumens + and look it over. You will be shocked at what you can see. Just FYI
