Don't feel too bad about, I have one too....I figure in 2-3 years I'm going to need to repaint the entire front end since my car is a daily driver.

Re: Biggest Pet Peeve (E RACER)
I've got a small chip on the front lic cover and another near the driver-side headlight. Neither are noticeable to anyone other than me, but they still bug me. I'm very careful not to get too close to cars ahead of me, but there's no way to avoid the crap thrown up by people going the other direction on a two-lane road. Oh well .. the only alternative is to leave it in the garage, which isn't going to be happening.

Re: Biggest Pet Peeve (Zapper)
I also have a small stone chip on one of the headlamp covers. It never fails. The day I got my car back from the body shop after having the RK Sport hood installed and the stripes painted, I got a huge chip right in the middle of one of the stripes. It went all the way down to the white paint. I had it fixed, but there's nothing you can do to prevent. So follow some great advice I got from a good friend. "Don't look at it and it won't bother you."
