Default Anyone else having issues with their RSX?

I've had my RSX for a month now and thoroughly enjoy driving it. It always seems like I'm ready to get back into the seat. I've logged 2,100 miles so far. I will have to say the car is almost to comfortable and long trips at slow speeds is lethargic. This car desires to be driven.

I do have a couple compaints and I would like to see if anyone else with a Type-S is experience the same things. I have Premium White paint and it looks great. I only have one problem. I already have 4 dings from road debris on the front. I personally believe that 's way to much wear to show alreay after only 2K miles. I have since then stripped whatever garbage coating the dealer had on and put on 2 coats of 38% carnuba wax and hopefully this will elimating the dinging. My second complaint is that my breaks at odd internevals squeel somethings fierce. I wouldn't mind so much if I could ditch them for JDM Brembo assemblies, but at a price of $3,200 clams I don't see me switching anything soon. I'd appreciate any feedback.

It sucks, but there will always be rocks and other crap on the road.
Your best bet is to avoid driving behind trucks (just pass them !).
You may consider a bra, but they seem like a pain, and usually look lousy IMHO.
I have heard of a plastic like coating or film that can be applied to hoods and bumpers that protect the paint. Anyone else heard of this?

Yes I have seen a 3.2CL with that clear protectant applied to the front of the car. Its very subtle and the owner is happy with it.
