Adding clear bra to the vehicle will help prevent future damage, and if you plan on selling the car in the future it will help preserve resale value.

That's what I'd been leaning towards. I found an automotive paint repair shop nearby that lists bumper rock-chip repair as one it's primary services. Was going to see what their estimate would be with my problem spots, and then once they're fixed have the clear-bra installed after - ASAP. If I thought I was keeping the Z for the next 5+ years then I'd go the more expensive route, but I'm hoping to get one of the new Vette's in a few years; I'm not wanting to dump money in to performance parts (just stuff that will keep it looking clean so I can get as much back as possible for it).
