I started using it because there's two other blue Z's in my car club so I wanted a way to differentiate my Z to those two that's why I started using my nose mask on car shows. I really liked how it looked especially after it's sprayed with tech spray so I kept on using it.
Then several months ago I got a much better reasoning on why I should keep the mask on. I got in an accident and the front end was scratched up pretty bad. I haven't really decided what front end I want to replace it with so the mask will keep it hidden for a while.
