I've had my Z a week and just yesterday I felt under the front lip and it was pretty rough already! I didn't take a look but I'm damn scared to see what I find! lol I can't see any real chips on the front end yet, but now I'm seriously considering a clear bra...

 

I just did the search you could have done, but......

I'm still happy with it!

BTW, congrats on your new ride! What did you end up doing with tires?

 

Thanks for the link. I remember that thread now and I looked on the Xpel site before. I was hoping to find an installer somewhere closer to where I live and I don't know if the guy in Buffalo Grove will come out to my place or not. I'll give him a call.

I'm running the OEM Bridgestones still. Surprisingly, they've held up ok in the cold, as long as there's no slush or snow around. I've left the car in the garage the few times we've had some flurries or what not. Considering the winter is almost over, I'll just leave the RE040s on the car until next fall. Next fall I'll probably buy some 17" rims and snow tires.

I don't know if you read my thread in the general forum or not, but I ended up getting a Performance for only 200 bucks more than an Enthusiast, so I have the 18" rims. I'm THRILLED with the car and I can't wait until I'm done breaking it in! My dealer is even going to give me a free oil change at 1200 miles!
