Splitters splitting and need help

[e92doc]

So my car has just about 4k miles and is 5 months old. I ordered it with OEM splitters installed at factory (or really at the port). I went today to wash the car and all of a sudden the splitters look like they were hit with hundreds of stone chips. The clear coat has litterally 100 plus tiny little chips with a handful starting to bubble and look really bad and very noticable even from a far. has anyone else had this happen to their splitters? I last washed two weeks ago and noticed 1-2 small chips with ni bubble. There are no other chips or scratches on the bumper and i have not driven into a debris field and dont drive a lot of highway. I dont think this is normal wear

I see you live in Syracuse...have you guys had snow yet? Maybe the salt might have pelted the clear coat?

No- we havent had a day below 50 degrees - weve had great weather - no salt on th roads so far- at least if we did i could attribute the bubbles to that

It sounds like normal wear and tear but that doesn't make sense based on your description. Could you post some pictures maybe?

Lets meet with Jason soon to prep for winter, he might have an idea about the splitters too.

Absolutely- I brought it in and Burdick agrees not normal wear and tear and they think there may be a defect- getting replaced but now I absolutely need a winter car
