This is a little depressing. I have an 06 350z which I bought April 6 of this year. I am the first owner (so it's not like any previous owners could have f'ed it up).

Everytime I wash my car, I notice new chips in my paint on the front bumper. I have no clue what is causing the paint to chip, and the only idea I have is that hitting bugs at 120 mph can actually peel your paint off. I do a LOT of highway driving at high speeds. I'm kinda trying to see if anyone else has this problem and if not, what the hell am I doing that no one else is?

 

Paint is not so great on our cars. Invest in a clear bra. Im taking my car to get the clear bra put on before I use the highway. (I just picked it up the other day) But rock chips are inevitable if you drive high speed on the highway.

 

Well.... that sucks... I paid $30k for a car with crappy paint and a hood-prop stick... go me.

 

tell me about it!

 

shiit, if you guys feel that way either invest in a clear bra and get some hood dampeners, or buy a beemer if you wanted luxury, its a sports car

 

Hood dampeners? I have a water hose I could squirt on the hood if that's what you mean. The word is DAMPERS. Which I will be aquiring soon enough. And paint that doesn't peel off my brand new car isn't what I consider a luxury.

 

Paint chips on a 350Z? Besides these 469 complaints...
