I guess you could call it PEACE OF MIND. And to think I didn't pay at least 300 to 500 smacks for a clear bra and still complain about yellowing or peeling.........
Try 500-800.
Doesnt matter. You're driving around with a freakin black car bra!
35,000 miles of looking at that ****. No thanks, CHACHING $500!
Whats the point of protecting the fron end if you have to look at the unsightly beard for 35,000 miles?
$500 bucks and Aerospace 303 protectant once every 2 months and you're set.
Oh ya, the clear bras protect the side mirrors and lights.

What's really sh!tty is that I do about 30% highway driving, so I imagine most of the damage happened in many fewer miles.
Note: The age and mileage above is when it reached the "needs to be repainted" stage.

what I think is fair, is that if you want something you have paid good money for to stay in "good" condition maybe YOU should take the proper steps to ensure it stays like that, you have been with the board for over a year so either you can't read or you chose to ignore the chipping issues that others have posted about. and also chose to ignore the solution which is a clear bra. even if the paint is cheap there is nothing anyone is going to do to help you with it. next time research your purchase better.

nissan would win the lawsuit....
you really don't have a case without extensive proof which would probably have to be scientific, since rock chips and stuff is expected to happen espcailly on a front bumper..
now if ur car is already rusting or paint falls off when ur washing the car then thats a different story..lol

You're obviously kidding, but think about what you said. If you bought tires that wore out in 3,000 miles through no fault of your own, wouldn't you be in contact with the manufacturer? Would you consider buying that brand again?

Anyway, no pics. I don't have a camera that would focus that closely, and what I'd want to show is the density of the chips/impressions/sandblast effect.

I have owned 4 Nissans 01 - 06, the paint quality varies a lot car to car. Some colors also seem to be more problematic. The flat black Sentra I owned was very thin and did not seem to have much clear coat at all. The metalic paints have been much better, including the magnetic black on the Z. Ghosn is a real penny pincher and I bet the paint issues can be tracked back to his policies. On the other hand, he is the one who pushed the new designs (Z) so he's still ok in my book.

Also if there are any lawyers or law students, I'd like to hear from them as to what would be involved or if a case could even be made.
