What did you do with your Z today II

I know you can do full hood wrap so it's not visible but that gets pricey.

After 2 years my Z has 7700 miles and maybe 4 dings in the front. I'm not sure if it's worth it. Dr. Colorchip kits are pretty cheap.

Can anyone chime in on their experiences. I want people who have had it for few years not the ones that just got it.

i do have clearbra along the side of the rockers though as my front tires kickup. im going to be re-doing that later this spring.

If I don't I think the side of the rockers will have to be done because I always hear rocks being kicked up

luckily for me i put the strip of clearbra on the rocker before changing offset so i can peel it off and remove the impact scratches and stains.
