The 370z is a DD for me and what I've noticed so far is that there are chips and other small damages to the front bumper. This is due to going on the freeway all the time to commute to work and such. It's too hard to keep the car free from any damage when it's your DD. Other than that, it works great. Until it snows again of course.

I am planning on wrapping about 60% of the car. I did the same on my Z06, and it has already saved it numerous pecks and scratches.

why not just wrap the whole car? I'd do a color wrap on the full car so you don't have to deal with the paint.

I'm thinking about it, but I like waxing paint, as odd as that sounds. The new Avery Denison Nanofusion film is supposed to be like paint, though. I only plan on wrapping hood,rockers,lights,mirrors,front fascia, roof, front and rear fenders.

The reason it comes out to 60%+ of the car is that I want whole panels wrapped, not 1/3 or 1/4. I don't want "lines".
