I have four rock chunks taken out of my bumper, found one a few months after I owned the car then two showed up another month later and then this last one. Not sure on my plan yet, as no one sees them unless you are close, but I know they are there.

i always park in bfe just because of your situation...

There is no bfe at work with respect to parking. All the lots fill completely up and then some. To make things worse the parking spaces are narrow as hell, the Z barely fits in them.

I suppose I can go park out in the street somewhere but I see that as more of a liability because the parking lot at work at least has cameras and I can ask them to pull the footage if something major goes down.

What else can I do?

I had an off at little Talladega and scratched up the bottom bar of the front bumper, but fortunately, just on my clear bra. I did put a small dimple dent in it though.

Dealer installed swirl marks were the first blemish I needed to polish out...

Well, nothing self-inflicted:

1) Someone stopped next to my car when it was parallel-parked on the side of the road, and intentionally opened their door into my passenger door, leaving a dent and scrape.

2) Someone keyed my left rear quarter panel.

3) Someone accidentally opened their door on my right rear quarter panel leaving a small dent.

4) I have rock chips on my bumper and hood (I'm waiting for it to get worse before buying a CF vented hood and painting it along with my front bumper in the GT-R look).

Grrr...

your parking situation really sux...not much you can do...and having smaller parking spaces than normal doesnt help either...

First blemish? Scuffing my driver's kickplate just about every time I drive it. It probably started with the test drive. I consider this minor. I was out waxing today and am now seeing lots of little chips on the front. This I'm more worried about. Gotta start backing off another car length on the freeway to keep the rash down.

Found a good scratch on the passenger side rocker panel. Neither my wife or daughter will 'fess up to it tho...

kdo2milger 11-29-2009 10:58 AM

Always wear a helmet when riding. :tup:

A couple weeks after I picked my car up, back in Jan I ran up an asphalt island downtown SF near my office and scraped the length of the underside of the driver side rocker panel. You can't see it unless you get on your back but it still bugs me knowing it's there. I will be getting it fixed though in coming weeks...

Also have some good curb rashing on my rear wheels, having that fixed this next week when they are powder coated...
