Can't push the Potenza S-04s, but at least it will be drivable for the next week or 10 days.

Just wrapping the hood? And yeah these temps are on and off, hopefully it clears up, it's the first day of spring today!

Wrapping the nose/front bumper unit, 8 inches of the front of the hood, door sills, and door edges with 3M Scotchguard. That plan is based on the problems I had over three years on my 2011 Z with rock chips and bug staining. That south shore of Mille Lacs in May/June will break your heart.

$620 at the BodyWorks in Baxter.

Black will be hard to keep clean. Based on my experience with Black Cherry, it will readily show all the rock chips, and the staining from bug guts will be very noticable. I know, the bugs are less of a problem if you wash them off right away, but this is Minnesota and sometimes real life keeps you from firing up the pressure washer and executing your two-bucket wash in a timely fashion. I have had good luck with a Flex polisher and some Adam's Fine Machine Polish, but that becomes a weekly project and that gets old. My limited experience with clear bras has been that the bug guts just wipe right off with some Plexus plastic cleaner or maybe some gentle hand polishing with some Novus. Anyway, that's the route I'm going to go.
