Front Bumper Chipped HELP PLZ!!!
 
So couple days ago, I looked around my z and noticed there was 3 tiny stone chips on my front bumper, and i mean real tiny, cant c it unless ur like me check out every part of my z after i park it, I brought it in the bodyshop today, they told me its definitly not worth getting it repainted, especially if its the front bumper, because it will be ezier to get chipped after its painted, so my question is, is there anything i can do to sort of do some touch ups myself? or just let it be, my z is not even 2 months old, so knowing that there is some flaws on it kills me, plz help!!! ty in advance.

Unfortunately get use to it, the Z sits low and takes a beating from pebbles and rocks. You can go pick up some touch up paint from the dealership to fix it but i would research proper technique to fixing paint chips so it looks right. I actually need to go get some cause a rock got my hood 2 weekends ago and went all the way down to the alluminum and left a small dent around it.

One of the reasons many of us opt to have a clear-bra installed. Short of that, you will be constantly touching up that entire area.

For touchups, you can also try Dr. Colorchip. It's supposed to work fairly well, although I have not used it.

Good luck...

Welcome to the wonderful world of driving a Z. That problem will get worse. Yes, a clear bra will solve the problem.
