Oh yeah clears are a must IMO.

What is Zaino? Is it the stuff you put on the tires to make the shiny? If so, where can I get it?

I have one clear corner. It sucks. When our black one was wrecked, the concrete wall took out the right clear corner (along with much of the front end), but I still have the left one in good condition. Anyone have a right one? I think they look awesome on every color car. It looked really sharp on the black and I think it will look almost as good on our silver replacement. Apart from our spoiler, it was the only appearance mod we had on the car and it made a big difference. Granted the Racing Beat exhaust and Revi Intake had a bigger impact, but they aren't quite as visable.

Zaino is a car polish/wax. Not cheap, but definitely worth it. To shine the tires you might try Mcguires Tire Polish. Armorall has a version which works okay too and is cheaper.

No, go to zainobros.com and look at the gallery. Then go to the product listing and get the deluxe kit. It's worth it - and will last you over a year. So don't get too shell shocked by the price tag.

Give you an idea how much your car will shine, here's mine:

Your car looks great - I'm going to get the kit now. BTW, you really shouldn't rev your engine like you did in your video. We all know this is an economy car and that will KILL your mpg's!

Orange on red looks like ***. It's practically a necessity on the VR.

I have my corners smoked out with the brillina Black, as well as the head lights and tail lights too. I will post pictures tomorrow. Smoking out the head lights and the corners makes the car look real mean.

No sidemarkers. (Ignore the rusty looking rotors, it rained the previous night)
