370z Complaints so far?

Lady Z · 06-20-2009, 01:33 PM

Hi everyone! I'm new... MY biggest complaint at this time is the excessive paint chips. I do have a protective bra now (newly installed) but its over the existing chips. Ive only had my car a month...the dealer has offered to paint lower front of car but, will I get it back in a condition that is acceptable to me?
Has any one had a bra on (new car) long enough to see if it actually prevents paint chipping?
Also has anyone used a "invisicord" to mount radar? If so which model.

Tried to avoid the interstate until I had the clear bra put on, managed to pick up one small chip only. Since that time the bra has been flawless at protecting me, no chips at all. My 350 was a mess, looked like the front end was shot with a shot gun. I swore I would never deal with that again, hence the clear bra. The paint will chip it you just look at it hard.

How long have you had the clear bra? Also do you drive the interstate now? I drive 200 miles a day on the interstate.

Yes, since new, although I had a pro remove the original one I had put on the car, and another one installed. The first one was done by a rookie, and I wasn't happy with the job. New one looks fantastic. Yes, I drive the interstate daily, and have no issues at all. You're driving 200 mile a day? Wow, thats a lot of driving

Thanks for the input. I just went to the official Nissan site and complained about the paint. If everyone did it might make a difference. Now that I have my Z I love driving over 200 miles a day. It's a great drive across Alligator Alley (I 75 in sw Fl) It's 100 miles of straight flat highway. All I need now is help with a power cord and harness for my radar!

A lot of guys attach to the rear view mirror and wire in there. That assumes you have a power mirror. Try this link for an attachment: MGT Motorsports.com
