usually things come with orange peel, it doesnt really "start" to happen because its all about the adhesion of the clear coat to the basecoat.. Unless your clear is starting to seperate(unnoticeably) then you wont start to get orange peel.
keep her in the shade and wax her.

NHBP.

unfortunately she sits in the sun all day long and drives 100 miles a day.

i do wax her a couple of times a year.

I have an 03 NHBP Si too and my factory wing is starting to peel/chip in that little dip also.

but I was planning on getting a CF Mugen style wing eventually so it didn't really faze me much.
