There were issues with the first 1/2 of the 2010's made that caused the chipping on the front.

Splash guards will do nothing for your bumper.

I guess better old with a nice paint job than young with a sandblasted one! Or is it better to have a two-toned "old man" paint job or a bunch of "teenager" stickers?

Sorry, couldn't resist. I just love the stereotyping in the world. No harm meant toward the poster.

You gave me a great Idea. Instead of getting mine painted, I'll just get a bunch of racing stickers and cover up the chips.

lol. worth a try i guess. it would be a cheaper fix than re-painting or getting a clear bra.

I see the usefulness of them but hate the look, so I'd probably go for the stealth ones since they aren't so noticeable. JMO

Yes that I know but if the front's chip that easy so will the sides so I went ahead and added them before I have to have the whole car repainted as it is I will be taking it in because the paint is peeling on my rear bumper and my front drivers side front 1/4 panel (the paint on the front rubs right off with very little pressure from your finger).

Before I put the splash guards on, I had Clearshield installed on the gills, rockers, full bumper, 1/4 fenders, 1/4 hood, and where the splash guards "touch" the car. That way, if I ever want to take the splash gurards off, the paint underneath will still be like new/unmarked.
Good idea! Wish I had done that.
