Jin, how does the flat black handle finger prints and splattered bugs, do they leave any marks ? Looks great though.

Jin, your car looks bloody fantastic! I assume that it is vinyl wrapped?

Also, on a weirder note, I like how some of you guys have your front license plates done. Looks much cleaner than just tacking a plate to the front of a 8.

Cheers

is that a vinyl wrap or is actually painted flat black?

as stated above - how does it handle fingerprints n' such?


its nice to see a unique car line up - everybody seems to be pretty different from each other.

a ferrari f430 did it...

...why wouldn't an rx8 do it?



hence why i asked...apparently it's a lot cheaper and not permanent just in case the owner decides to go in a different direction

We are a little behind the 8 ball here Atilla, even trying to get a custom paint job is a PIA.

Looks amazing! And if that's Vinyl even when you take it off you'll still have your regular paint!

Hey guys! Thanks for all the awesome comments...

Let me start by sharing more details bout my ride... The photo was taken nearly a year back when it was still pretty much stock...

The body is vinyl wrapped and it is very common to do that in Singapore. Down time and savings is half of that vs a paint job and its easy to change design and colors when you get bored of it. Also, its so much more neater and nicer to use sticker numbers for the license plate.

No issues whatsoever with finger prints and splattered bugs.. Honestly, its really maintenance free!! Forget about waxing and polish... I only need to visit the petrol car wash once every 10 days. Pay 5 bucks and I get a brand new shine again...

Below are more recently taken shots with many new mods added...

Lets see if you guys can spot the difference!

Looks like a wing, mirrors and more low.

Pics of it on track make it look that much sweeter.
