Default Bra or no Bra?

Thinking about getting a nose mask or film to protect the paint on my new Z. I live in Florida in an area where there are a lot of rock and sand trucks on the highway. Although it's legal to carry a gun in the state of Florida, you unfortunately can't shot the A*hole dropping his load all over the highway. Anyone use the Nissan nose mask? Does it collect sand underneath it? Film seems to be the way to go but it isn't cheep.

Thoughts?

I'd go with clear bra, the leather type removable bras will get sand etc under there and that's no bueno. Plus, it looks like poo.

Of course you can, you'll just go to jail.

And yes clear bra isnt cheap but well worth it. Was gonna get my front bumper wrapped, cost quote was about 300 for just the bumper from a store close to where I live. If you get more stuff wrapped the price will rise steep fast.

I can't believe the prices you guys pay up north. I got the full bumper, 1/3 hood and front fenders, mirrors and rockers wrapped in 3M for $500 here in Houston.

Prices are even worse for car stuff in this area.
Just as a rule-of-thumb. My Nissan dealer was allotted one 40th Anniversary model.
Not many car shops of any quality. I paid $200 to have an exhaust mounted on my 350.

Oh, and definitely go for clear bra. Mine came with a bra and I could never get the thing on. You have to stretch the crap out of it to get it on.
