Chrome Pitting on Spoiler

So does anyone else have their chrome pitting on lower spoiler? Mine started a couple of month after getting the car now 10 months old.

Me either, but a couple of weeks ago I pulled mine off to wrap them.

Yeah there are some rock chips but there are a lot of bubbles in the chrome. I'm getting my oil changed in the morning. I'll ask the service guy. If they won't fix it look like I'll be wrapping this puppy.

After only 9,500 miles, mine looks like crap too.

They're not too bad to get off, but the shape makes them a challenge to wrap. I finally surrendered to the idea that the underside (which so far has only been seen by a couple of squirrels with a death wish) looks bad. Top looks great though.

I'm not an expert wrapper though. I'm sure a pro shop could do much better.
