I plan on getting a clear one. It's only on there to protect my paint. My front bumper on my Pontiac looked like crap.

This is what happens to the paint over time underneath the bra. Sand and debris gets under causing abrasion.

Enjoy the Z for a while, learn how it rides, get used to it, and then maybe think about what you'd like to improve.

I put the eibach pro kit (springs and sways) on my roadster, very nice upgrade!

Thanks everyone. I'm going to check out the paint today. I haven't got it home yet. Waiting on a ride to take me to pick it up. If the paint looks like that I'll just leave it on until I can get it re painted lol

I know a lot have gone to hotchkis, why did you feel they were better? I don't drive mine much so they seem incredible on the Dragon.

I have the Hotchkis sways and springs. Love them. Of course, I don't know any better since I went from OEM to Hotchkis.

4-5 cases of Eibach springs snapping on FX's as well. Seemed to be cold weather related.

I believe it. My front Eibach Sportlines snapped in half on my Civic. Both the front left and right. I would say they had about 30k miles on them.
