Is this an indication that perhaps initially the paint job on the rx8s is not good. Not just yours but other rx8s aswell.

Bye

The paint itself is beautiful... But I own a 2003 Jetta and it seems that the RX-8's paint is more fragile.... The paint flaking was due to improper sanding of the panel, according to the dealership.. Oh well, Im happy again =) It was the longest two weeks of my life... ok, maybe im exaggerating =P

Nope, just painted, with the vinyl caliper stickers. Been through 2 car washes and still staying tight... I think they are actually becoming fused to the caliper with the heat.
