Welcome!
Well,compared to your previous rides,a Z is a rocket!
Depending on how paticular you are about that paint chip,you could probably
apply touchup paint in small layers to build it up to be even with the surface.
Then,buff it out.This method may work since you have a black car.The color match is easier.If you are more particular,you cound spring for some CF covers that extend from the windshield posts back.The chip would be covered.The CF would blend with the black.
Could also get a CF roof overlay(overkill for a chip!).Or,level the chip and get the roof wrapped.

Appreciate that... But I worked my ass of work this car. it may not be a real car for YOU, but im only 20 and paid for the thing in cash. I dont come from money like most the people I see on here that are my age whose parents bought them a decked out Z. I am not looking to race the thing i just wanted a car that I could be happy with, have fun with, and get from A to B. I mean i was driving a chevy malibu before dude. Another reason I went auto/tiptronic is i live in LA and the traffic here would be a *****.

A Z car at 20 is pretty nice. You worked hard for it. Enjoy the hell out of the fruits of your labor.

All depends on your area. Just call around and ask for a quote.
