Paint Chips Everywhere!!
I've got only 7500 miles on my car and I've got so many paint chips I can't count them!! Hood, facia, fenders, OEM underspoiler, etc. What gives? Is Honda paint so soft that you can't even look at it without it chipping? 
Has anybody had this problem and had it covered under warranty?

MyBad, it's pretty normal with our S2000's and especially given the fact that you participate in many of the S2000 events, the S-02's simply love propelling small (and large) debris! Sometimes you just gotta take the lead!
My Sebring Silver is the same. I make it a point to ALWAYS put a coat of Z2 on my front bumper after every wash! This has saved me, I'm sure!

i figure if i get enough paint chips on the hood. i'll get a carbon fiber hood~ no more paint chips~! 
maybe the front plate will protect a small part of the front bumper from paint chips ...
but i rather live with it ...

What kind of driving do you all do? I have about 16k and I have maybe 3 chips - only one is large enough to be visible to just anyone (without close inspection).

Dude, you don't even know untill you have a black one. absolutly horrible. Some parts of the front bumper looks like someone spent all day throwing little pebbles at it.
