I got tagged on the 91 by some OSB. coudn't avoid it. hit the front air dam. not too bad, but needs to be repaired. Makes me want to get a bra. How much are those running?

They're cheap something under $200 if I recall, make sure to tell then if you have an air dam as the bras are different. Look at the advertising banners for Trusseville or rosenthal...

I use the 91 daily
I know it sucks
I'm starting to get chips also but I don't want a bra on my 8

I had a 2 inch pipe fly to the front bumper, scraping off about an inch of paint.

I had a tire tread hit me driving home 1 night on the 91. it ripped off half of my front aero kit. I had to have the tech glue it back on with some kind of hard drying glue, looks like liquid plastic. It has held tight though so far.

I got gravel on my windshield. Two little spots. Not noticable except to me.... :P That was on the 405

yup. see this thread. Ended up going to AutoBody USA in Lake Forest for a new hood, new windshield, and paint/repair of passenger rear wheelwell.

This was on the 57 in Diamond Bar, where they're doing all the construction with the concrete K-rails blocking off the emergency lane. Since there's no shoulder, road debris piles up along the K-rail right in the slow lane. Semis kick that crap up constantly. Beware!

oh yeah.. don't drive the 91 with your sunroof open. even if its a Sunday and there is no one around and its hot outside cuz, I have a nice little chip in mine after a rock hit it..

ouch..

most of my daily commute is either behind a gravel trck or something else that flings crap. I picked up a Colgans bra for 89.95. the least inexpensive I'v seen so far.
I bought the original black. it also showed up in 3 days. No, I didn't pay extra

a truck kicked up a roof tile on the freeway at about 75mph and scraped my bumber and under spoiler a week after I bought it.

If this happens to you, CLAIM IT ON YOUR COMPREHENSIVE COVERAGE! It will not hurt your insurance rate as long as you say that the object was moving and therefore you could not have avoided it, i.e. not your fault. It is filed as a comprehensive claim. If you say you hit it and it wasn't moving it becomes your fault (you could have avoided it) and a collision claim, in which case it will affect your rate. This is what was said by and insurance rep for Liberty at the Mazda Sportscar Club of Washington DC meeting I went to a month or so ago. So pay the deduct and have it fixed!

thanx for the heads up

I pushed my deductible to 500. It keeps my rates lower. I don't think the repair will be that much. It SUCKS.

A month ago, while driving on the 80 back from Sacramento, a tiny rock kicked from a SUV deflected onto my front windshield and nicked it pretty bad. It didn't crack but its right in the middle of the driver side and is very noticable. I know its not the end of the world and not worth replacing but its very annoying when I have to see it every day =(

maxrx8

I'm speechless. That really sucks!

Slick_Advanced

Yeah the second day I had my car I got reamed by a rock in the winshield. and on the top of the car.

maxrx8

I've got a couple of nicks with little rock marks. The touchup will fix those though. Maybe they should call it the Rockshield
