Question, I couldnt exactly find the answer searching. The factory vinyl nose mask, how easy is it to take on & off? and, if you've had it for a long time, has it discolored or faded your paint?
Im contemplating buying one, but not if its a PITA to put on & take off. My front nose is starting to look like it has freckles..

I got mine AFTER I had a ton of stone chips, so I'm not overly concerned with any paint under the mask. It's very east to revome and clean and wax under if you want.

I would have gotten the 3M clear bra, but I had too many rock chips, far too quickly. I have a black Z and the black Nose Mask doesn't look bad at all.

I just thought of something.. Lets say you want to do an oil change, and you have to take off the plastic under panel off from underneath the engine. Does it get in the way, do you have to remove the mask in order to get that panel out?

Nope, it does not interfere with the lower plastic panel at all.

I just downloaded the manual off of the Coutesyparts website.
Anyhow, after downloading the instructions, I've decided not to go with the nose mask and just, repaint it in a year or two.
Taking it off seems to be more complicated than taking off the bra on a girl with a 44 DD chest. Too many hooks, snaps, straps & elastic.....

But I guess you wouldn't want to do that with the Z bra though... the incentive just isn't there for that
