Ok I don't usually post on here alot, but I'm so sick and tired of hearing people on here complain that Infiniti paint is soft. You guys think Infiniti is the only one with soft paint??????
Check out the BMW, Lexus, Hyundai, and whatever other forums there are out there. EVERYONE COMPLAINS ABOUT ROCK CHIPS. I have yet to come across a car that doesn't accumulate tons of chips.
If a rock or pebble traveling 75 mph hits some paint it sure as hell will chip. What the hell if a rock or pebble hits the windshield traveling at that speed it will chip too and glass is harder than any paint clearcoat.
Oh the other thing I hear on here that makes me laugh, "oh my G37 is a $40K car it shouldn't be chipping". Well just to let you know price doesn't mean ****. A friend of my dad has an S550 and that thing has chips all over the front like crazy. And if I'm not mistaken that car costs like 3 times the amount of any G37 on here. What's the excuse then? Check out the M5 board forums so many complaints about soft chipping paint. I'm just going to bring this up as I saw a member on here a while back mention that Hyundai paint is better lmao. Go to the Hyundai Genesis forums (gencoupe.com) so many complaints on there too about soft paint. Chips all over the doors and front bumper and Hyundai doesn't do **** about it:
Rock chips and touch up paint question - Genesis Forum: GenCoupe Hyundai Genesis Forums
rock chips..... - Genesis Forum: GenCoupe Hyundai Genesis Forums
Has anybody had a problem with the paint chipping? - Hyundai Genesis Forum
Mercedes Paint? - MBWorld.org Forums
Rock Chips... - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)
Rock chips in front bumper - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)
Keep it simple. If you don't want rock chips dont drive the car or get a clear bra because it's going to happen.

Rock chips are a pain and you'll get them regardless of what car you drive. In regards to the OP, I too have those chips on my car in the same spots and on my hood as well. If you get them repaired, you'd probably want to get a clear film for it also as it will just happen again. But yeah, "soft" paint...it's kind of a moot point when you have stones flying at you from every direction.

The thing that really got me the other day was when I was waiting for a friend in the parking lot, I went to seek to my next preset (radio) on the steering wheel and my finger nail kinda scraped and it left this huge line....the paint just peeled right off.

I'd imagine if you run spacers on the fronts it would make it worse...and the sport 19's are probably worse than the 18's.
I have the non-sport baby sized wheels so the fender arches catch the pebbles. But my front end is chipped like a bastard, like every other car I've owned in PHX.
