I new my new 350X Touring but so far the only complaint I have is the scraping of the frontend when parking the car. Its hard to guess sometimes how close the curb is or how high when parking. Who else is having this problem? I would like to know and if I can buy something that would help me protect the frontend from getting scraped. Thanks in advance.

Do you know how much it would cost to get the frontend repainted? I mean not the whole frontend but just underneath about 12 inches. I am just pissed off because its scraped and want to make it right again! dammit! also would you happen to know if the K&N typhoon is legal if its installed?

Its very annoying when I scape the bottom part of my bumper. I had the same problem with my other car but the bumper was much higher so scapes were visible. The only good think about the bumper on the Z that the scrapes are not visible until getting on the knees to look under. ARRGH! I AM VERY ANNOYED ABOUT IT! I need a fix for it!! does anyone know of one?

I wouldn't worry about it. You cant see the scratch unless you're underneath the car, looking up.

Nice car!

When I had my Z (and my Vette) I would always back into any and all parking spots.
