Default General question about dings in front bumper

i have some scratches and paint peel on my front bumper. It looks like it was caused by rocks or debris on the road. What do you guys suggest i can get to minimize this without a car bra.

It's inevitable unless you get clear bra. DON'T drive behind huge trucks/trailers!

can't do much. of course the usual clear bra answer is what you'll get. you're most likely going to have to live with it and repaint your bumper when it gets bad. you can also try touch up paint on some.

It is pretty inevitable... I have driven up and down from LA to Stockton probably about 40 times and I have horrible rock chipping. But my friend with an IS just uses painter's tape on his whole bumper and his bumper looks 100x better than mine.

The front of the 350Z is susceptible to damage. If you are driving the car, you will get chips. No much that you can do besides touch-up paint.
