It all depends on your commute/how the Z is driven. I'm usually on crappy freeways with tons of construction, so its worth it to me.
The other option is to pay for a respray down the road. However, this can be quite expensive, a pain in the ***, and IMO a respray is never as good as the factory paint job (even the thin Nissan paint). The other downside is that in the interim, as you are collecting enough rock chips to warrant a respray, the front of the vehicle will look out of sorts.
Some people don't really mind the rock chips, others use touch up paint. For me, it would be way too time consuming to touch up all the rock chips I would be getting. I wish I had a pic of the front of my previous car. It looked terrible after just one year. The Z looks pristine with over 2 years of the same roads and you can't even tell it has a bra!
