Let's see how big of a problem we're really having:

I see it now...but its only like a couple of millimeters of scratching.

nothing compared to the nice small HAIL DENTS i got on my car last week. Small, but noticible to me.

It's probably important to identify the build date of the car. This issue may have already been identified.

I have no wear so far and my car is only a couple months old. Where is the build date posted on the vehicle? Door jam?

Yes, door jam.

No damage. Build date July, 2006.

today when i looked again for the chips i saw the other day, they were gone. then i jiggled the spoiler back and forth, and i saw them. my spoiler is loose on one side.

I've got some wear on both sides. The HCH that parks near me at the YMCA in the mornings also has it. My car has close to 11,000 miles and a build date of August 2006 (yes, I drive a LOT).

Wear on left and right side of trunk lid where spoiler hits it. 4K+ miles.
Build date May or June (can't remember anything today!).

On both the left and right side of my spoiler. Looks like the paint chipped off though. Don't have build date but car has way less then 2k on it. Plan on taking it in to the dealer this week. Since I wont see my first oil change for about a year.

If anyone else wants to contribute to this poll, you should do so. I'll be "presenting" the results to my dealer this week when we discuss possible fixes. Thanks!

went to stealership (fuller honda in chula vista) yesterday and showed the chips to the service manager who told me i would have to bring the car in by appt and leave it for half a day so their service tech could look at it. what a hassle.
