If it is just a couple of chips talk to a clear bra installer, you can usually just use some touch up paint or permanent marker to color it in and then put the clear bra on to prevent further chips

The bumper of my '06 350 looked like it had been shot with a shotgun. I don't tailgate, but it is almost impossible to stop the chips if you live in a heavily populated area and drive the interstate daily. Had my 370 clear bra installed right after purchasing the car, and the bumper is perfect 4 months later. I highly recommend one.

i gave up on caring about it, rock chips on black suck..... just learn to live with it.

after the car gets hit with them, should be repaired before clear bra'ing it.
i don't feel it repairing it...lol

I had a pre-ordered 350 that I took delivery of in August of 02. I had 56K on the car when I traded it for my new 370. I also had more rock chips on that car than I have ever had on any new car that I have ever purchased in the past 45 years........................ Nissan paint SUCKS, PERIOD! I had rock chips where I have never seen rock chips on a car. Now I just returned from a 3000 mile vacation last week and even with a Clear Bra, I have rock chips on this new "Z". Like I said Nissan Paint SUCKS. Your Nissan dealer will tell you there is nothing that he can do about it because Nissan will not let him. My guy wants to, BUT.................

Oh and BTW don't let bugs stay on it overnight or they will eat their way into the paint also.............

BTW, Did I say Nissan Paint SUCKS....................................
