I had a pre-ordered 350 that I took delivery of in August of 02. I had 56K on the car when I traded it for my new 370. I also had more rock chips on that car than I have ever had on any new car that I have ever purchased in the past 45 years........................ Nissan paint SUCKS, PERIOD! I had rock chips where I have never seen rock chips on a car. Now I just returned from a 3000 mile vacation last week and even with a Clear Bra, I have rock chips on this new "Z". Like I said Nissan Paint SUCKS. Your Nissan dealer will tell you there is nothing that he can do about it because Nissan will not let him. My guy wants to, BUT.................

Oh and BTW don't let bugs stay on it overnight or they will eat their way into the paint also.............

BTW, Did I say Nissan Paint SUCKS....................................
