Happens all the time especially if you do a lot of highway driving. My hood was hood has a small amount of rock ships on the grill and hood but due to some upcomming mods I am not to worried about it.

PITA...right..I just dont understand that though. Nice car and cheap paint....uggghh so aggrivating. All of the other cars I owned even my Acura TL Type S didn't have that problem.

Yep, but repainting the black grill is super simple. Light sanding, 3 coats of black, and 3 coats of clear. I've had to repaint mine once after about a year and I need to repaint it again when the temps get a little warmer.
