No damage - just some splatter which I made sure to wash off as soon as I got home. I usually encounter them in the backyard (or maybe its more accurate to say THEY encounter the paintballs that spew from my neighbor's and my yard). Other than a bird I hit with my Explorer driving 70 mph down 290 West, I have to say I've been pretty lucky when it comes to that - especially when I start to consider that I've put 100K miles on my previous four vehicles driving around Texas the past 15 years.

This is why I started leaning towards gloss myself. I actually like the matte finish better in general but on 40th it almost hides and does not offer the contrast you need to look good. I think gloss would be more noticeable on 40th.

& Pic Pic!!
and I believe you keep your Z very shiny too A matte finished splitter will make it looks like an old/worn part. Go with the glossy, unless you have an opt for CF finish. |

Good morning Z crew, and the OFC! I gotta say, whatever maintenance that takes place @ 7:30am EST really screws with me, cuz I'm starting my day and trying to post/read updates while guzzling coffee!
Have a great one all!

I type all of my rep individually to give it a personal touch. Sounds like this Michelin gig has gone to your head, onz.
