    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    Paint Chips Damage in front of Rear Wheel

    I noticed the same paint chips after my first outing. I now have a set of BudBuilt bump out sliders with full tread plate. The bottoms of the sliders are EXTREMELY chipped but my doors no longer get chips.
