Dr Colorchip on the Velocity Red?

I am interested in the Dr Colorchip ( Drcolorchip.com ) paint chip repair system. They send you paint code-matched to your car, and you touch it up and wipe off the excess with a special solvent. It looks easy and effective for small rock chips. I read all the reviews, and it seems the Dr colorchip might work better than the Lanka kit.

Has anyone used the Dr color chip system on an RX8, or better yet on Velocity Red Mica?

Thanks for any input you can offer.

hey altspace, stepping back to the winter discussion we were having... do the 17" inch winter wheels/tires mess the speedometer up at all? Considering getting a set of 17's with blizzaks and just curious.

Cool Forgot My password

Glad to be back! Yup it's not lowered, the Autobahn front is too low as is for the crappy Taiwan roads, especially the underground garages. Scrapes are a common thing. Don't know where are tax money goes? (Sorry about the Pics...camera phone)

Not at all. You just need to have the correct tire size to match.

perks11...tks!

Oh those are Autobahn Mirrors ....got them the same time I go the kit. But can't open the signal light plastic...it has a screw but some how they seem super glued. It comes with Amber LEDs and I would like to swap them with red ones...sI have them hooked up to the parking lights, so they come on and also blink. I've got Hyper bright RED LED's in the clear corners and the headlight parking lights....it looks cool and looks different.

Just washed. I just love the low front 3/4 angle. Not bad for an "old" car.
