The touch up paint for white RX8s is pathetic.
This is gross, but it actually looks like dried up semen when applied. The freaking chips look better.

The bra is good but you constantly have to take it off otherwise it will ruin the paint. Rain washes crud and hard elements in the crevices so every wash it needs to be removed and cleaned. Pain is the butt with all the screws.

um whatever seems most import paint is thin, my subaru wrx hood looked like the surface of the moon, with craters everywhere and holes in the paint. This MIGHT have been brought on by following people very close that were going too slow in the left hand lane on the autobahn. Rocks at 100mph kinda hurt
And for the record i think mitsu paint is the worst my DSM back a few years ago had such bad paint on the roof that it looked like crinkle coating and you rub your finger over the paint and it would come off on your finger

The method which they apply the paint sucks, the paint itself is beautiful. Everytime I bring my car to a show I get asked if its custom paint or if it actually came like that. But I agree with the rock chips, but I think any car that is low to the ground and is driven fast is going to get some chips.

yeah IMO the best thing you can do is cough up the cash for the 3M kit and Zaino every couple months, and you will be happy. that 3m cover has kept the front of my car looking pristine, kinda expensive but great investment, you can pay 20-30k on a new car spend the extra 500-1k and get it.

i had a rock hit the middle of my hood. left 2 scratches as it bounced.
as soon as i get the money (which is when i sell my car, anyone wanna buy a 95 chrysler lebaron, 170k miles :P) i will wash, touch up, and wax my car. then put on a clearbra from 3m.
i was talking to an owner of a bmw 335i that had one, he said he paid a grand for it. i was like, "whaaaat!?" but apparently he had a shop install it. screw that, i'll pay $300 on ebay and do it myself.
