I'm assuming he means tags as in permanent license plates.

When I detailed my car last Friday, I didn't see any chips, but was disappointed in how "orange peel"y the paint was.

Your paint is bumpy textured? What color?

I hope Suzuki has learned not to skimp on the paint job in the future.

Nothing is better looking than a clean black ride. Keeping it clean is the challenge. I wanted the pearl white, but couldn't get the AWD SLS in it, so azure gray it was!

Hey guys, sorry for the delay. Got a quote from the dealer's preferred auto body shop, $980 repair. Still awaiting the regional rep's final Ok, but the dealership assures me that it shouldn't be a problem.

Funny thing is the itemized costs. Parts: $8 Labor: the rest :P

My 2011 is at the body shop as we speak. Suzuki authorized repainting bumper, hood and mirrors under warranty. Took them about 30min to figure it out with no hassles, loaner included. I did contact Suzuki Corp before even approaching the dealer, and they did the leg work for me. So I suggest that to others with the same issue. I'm also putting a nose mask on right out of the shop. I'm not taking any chances LOL

Add my Vivid Red 2011 Kizashi to the list. I have over 1/2 dozen paint chips and 3200 miles on the car.

Just called Suzuki and have a case number. Also have an appointment at the dealer on Friday.

The Suzuki rep was very friendly and apologetic. I'll post after the dealer trip.
