I got 3 months old Silver tC and hood/front bumper looks already worst, than in my sister 2 years old Accord.
Really disappointed in paint quality .

I get chips on my car too. The paint on our cars are fairly thin when compared to some other manufacturers.
I got a free paint pen from the dealer as mine came with a chip on the rear bumper on delivery.
I also got 3M film applied from an independent shop. Hood, bumper, headlights, mirrors, and cargo area under then hatch.

I haven't had any paint chips on my 2014 tC yet.
I got a blue streak metallic but I'm a bit of a clean freak when it comes to my car.
I usually wash it once a month or a week depending on how dirty it is and I use the Klasse Twins on the paint itself.
I also have the 3M applied to my hood, full front bumper and side mirrors and so far I've had no issues.
The only location where I am missing paint is underneath the front bump, I accidentally scrapped it under a parking cement block but the 3M protected most of it lol

I'm intrigued, where'd you find that at? I hate bras but that looks pretty nice!
Ever since I lowered the tC, I've been driving like I'm playing Gran Turismo...does it slide around, at all?

Brought it here:
Magnetic Car Bras, Auto Hood Bra and Nose Mask for Cars, Trucks and Suvs :: Order a Bra

Trim is made from plastic (not fabric) and feels solid (fits edge of the hood pretty tight).
After 3-weeks of "testing" bra, so far, so good.
BTW, good hood washing and waxing before installation recommended.

I think I'll pass on the magnetic things because I had a Sirius radio magnet on my car and it scratched the living daylights out of the paint
*surprise surprise*
Anyone hear about Scion's reaction to all the complaints?!
