The first blemish was a neither small nor large rash on the border of the passenger side front wheel. It hurt like hell but can't do anything about it I guess. Any advice here other than replacing the stock sport wheel..??

Second blemish was an idiot on a motorcycle that put two small scratches on the passenger side door. No dent though. I think it can be repaired using the touch up paint.

Hhhhmmm, now that I read those two blemishes over again, I have the feeling my passenger side is cursed. lol!

Other than that, nada..

on my nismo i got a scratch under the front side of the hood. that hard black protector that protects the bottom.

anyone know how to get rid of the scratch or any time of material to protect it from future scratches?

i got it going down a hill and i took my time since i knew it would hit the bottom.

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

I hear you on this one, I have a scrape on my side-skirt that's almost impossible to spot unless you are bent down looking for it, yet I'm contemplating getting a whole new skirt because of it.

just some rock chips... 2 on the hood, 1 in the windshield, and I even got one on the rear driver quarter wtf :mad:

Scraped it underneath the first day (like I do every day I drive it) entering and leaving my driveway and I said "Good... now I don't have to be so OCD about it".

To avoid getting your front hood and bumper chipped by the car in front of you on the freeway, you should be driving aapprox 50 to 70 metres behind.

the first blemish on the 370 came from the factory...those hideous side mirrors that they took from the Titan parts bin:bowrofl:

1st month and about 500mi took a rock off the windshield at about 70 mph. F'n shattered windshield. Sucked watching it get replaced! Have clear bra on complete front nose, 18" up the hood and on both mirrors, really does the job.

Is the 370Z a pain to work on them like the 350?

Clearly all 370z will need to come in for a checkup with a UV light. :p

I feel the same way. First week or two I was so paranoid driving my Z, but the first week I scraped under front right bumper (can't see it unless you really get down and dirty to look). Really annoyed me knowing it was there at first. Some idiot painted a parking stall past the point of the drive way and I was unfamiliar with the place so the front right scraped. Then the second week a rock left a small blemish in the center of my windshield.

After that I said F-it and nothing has happened since. Its been 3 months!
