I dont have one on a black Z, but I do have one on a silver Z. I hope it helps. Dont get a LaBra, those things fit loose and will mess up your paint after a while. Get a Colgan Custom bra, they fit tight and have a 5 year warranty (LaBra has a 1 year warranty) Just make sure you put a few extra coats of good wax on the nose before you put the bra on.

I would personally rather have bugs than that

One piece of real advice I will give you though - Regularly clean behind there. I detailed cars for years and have seen many bumpers damaged from these. Dirt and rocks get stuck behind there and the paint on the bumper wont fade the same as the rest.

I am just waiting for someone to hate my Bra so much that they pay to repaint my nose. Besides, the rock chips look way worse, and in real life the Bra looks pretty good.

+1 I'd rather have my front bumper repainted every 3-4 years than drive around with that thing on my car. Granted, if I was going on a really long road trip--I may put one on just for that trip.

On another note, I used to have a "color matched" tank bra on my '02 Yamaha R1. Was barely noticeable and kept my belt buckles from scratching up the tank. Too bad they don't make these for cars. Here's a pic of one on a Honda RC51 :

You have answer my question in every way possible thank you kind sir. I think its best to get it repainted when the time comes. I dont need a training bra i'm jus going to let it hang.

Hmm, not sure why people dont talk about it in this forum, but there is a product called clear bra. Its nearly invisible and protects the front of your car from getting rock chips and bug stains.
