is it possible that rocks could chip up the paint and the windshield pretty bad after about 3000 miles. mines looking pretty bad and i havent been down any dirt roads or anything like that.

 

i know that the paint isnt very high quality but the window too ?

 

Look how low the window sits compared to all other cars. It gets everything.

Front end gets the worst. Too late to invest in a clear bra. Get a Colgan Bra to stop the Insanity!

 

i got the same problem, little black chips everywhere

 

Ditto...

 

i got a freaking crazy sized rock chip! about .5 inch..i can see the white...thats how deep it is....wha do i do? im new to the whole car thing and dunno how to do anything whatsoever..like touch ups and all..

please advise!!

 

In my state, Colorado, your car insurance pays 100% for rock chips. Contact your insurance company, its worth a shot.

 

it looks terrible but im not sure what all i can do about it. i have little white specks all over.

 

I have more front end paint chips on my Z in one year that my Blazer had in 4 years.....crappy Nissan paint! I've just resigned myself to having the front bumper re-shot each Spring. Would do a clear bra, but no one does it here in Lexington, KY. May check around outside the area for clearbra (Louisville, Knoxville, etc.) when I get it re-painted in April.

 

Welcome aboard.

I got "chipped up" pretty noticeably within my 1st 400 miles. The paint is way too soft.


Comparatively, I've got a 17 year old Toyota with an immaculate front end. What's wrong with this picture?

 

yep front end and windsheild on mine.

 

I have a 2005 with almost 3K miles without a chip on my front bumper. I dont have clear bra. I guess Nissan made the paint a bit more durable on the newer models.

 

I have almost 20k miles (all freeway) on mine and have very few chips. The trick is to stay way back and avoid being behind SUV's trucks semi's and even motorcycles. I recommend a minimum of 10 car lengths. I also have an OEM bra but it's only on the car in the summer due to rain.

I actually have no chips on the front of the car. 1 is on the front left fender and the other is on the A pillar. Not even a standard clear bra would have prevented those.

 

I got a 2005 and have a buncha chips

 

my friend initial d...most of his are on the hood...barely any on the bumper.....maybe some ppl shouldnt follow 2 close 2 other cars...so the lil rocks wont be thrown of the other cars tires...just a thought=/

 

Bugs will eat through our paint in no time as well....

 

Hey Z Cruzn! Lemme know if you find a good place. I was going to have mine done by a guy in Dayton, OH. But the weather has been too cold for him to do so (he suggests warmer weather, kinda like tinting). Well... I checked out the front of my bumper and it already has chips galore. No point in getting it clearbra'd now..

 

move to Colorado and see what happens! Clear bras here are a huge money maker....

 

Georgia > Colorado

 

I got a bunch of chips after 17k miles then I put on a clear bra. I wish I did it sooner but it did freeze it in time though so I'm glad I did it.
