Pics are all from the passenger side, driver's side is just as bad. The chips are extending past the flares and onto the body sides and lower valance panels (body kit).

I just washed my truck today and noticed the pain. I was pissed off. Then I look on the undergound and find this. This is not right, Toyota needs to do somethig. I have an 07 and now it looks like shut. I will notice it evertime I look at it. Pics are not coming up. I will do them later.

It's filthy, sorry about that. I've been gone so long it just sits outside all day. :thumpdown:

Need to buy a cover, lol.

Anyway, 08 BSP X-Runner, 3500 miles. Purchased it March 2008. :dontknow:






Called that 1-800 number and they just said they'd look into it and call me back. :motz:

Have the dealership look at it. Parkway repainted my rear fender flares and applied stone guard at no charge.

Been a year since I repainted and clear-bra'd the fender flares. So far so good. :top:

I think it's a safe bet that Toyota corporate won't do anything about this issue, what with all the gas pedal, floor mat and Pruis brake recalls, i don't think flakey paint is anywhere near the top of Toyota corporate's priority list. :thumpdown:

dang i thought it was because the worthless moron who had my truck first drove it on gravel if someone can post pics for me or tell me how, ill post some. This is def. a worthy cause
