Yea.... your going to get that a lot with the tuck of the body on these cars. You have to either put mud flaps on , or a 3M Clear Protector in that area.

If you have to drive on gravel very much (Parking Lots, Driveways, Country Roads), you going to find that area will get quite pitted as well from the rocks.

I get that alot... It's a hard, black substance that feels strangely like rubber. Don't know how it got there... Think the tires are the cause?

he he he - I bet your rear tires are showing "unusual wear" as well.
