My New '07 BB RX8

Finally, here's some shots of my '07 6spd. She's pretty stock except for a few minor things like the clear corners and a MS CAI. I love black cars but I feel like the paint on this one is really thin and easy to scratch...anyone else get that?

But I've had her for a couple months now and enjoy it everytime I get behind the wheel.

congrats, another BB owner (2004). get the clear 3m bra for the front and keep it waxed and you'll be fine.

a clear bra would be wise though. or else you'll start seeing white freckles later on.

it is kinda easy to scratch... i'd get a clear bra on it asap... my bumper has a few scratches on it... but it's ok, cuz i keep telling myself that i'll buy a new ms bumper later.

yea, i've got a couple of tiny knicks on it and it really bugs me. do you keep the bra on it for long periods of time or just when you're taking long drives? is it hard/how much time does it take to put on?

nope, it's exactly how it sounds, it is a completely clear plastic film that covers the front, practically invisible.

the invisible tape sounds too good to be true. does anyone know the ballpark price for the bumper? i'm surprised that not a lot of members have the clear bra or maybe i'm wrong.

Nice! Go Gators too! I am 18 and am applying there soon, as it is my first choice since UNC is impossible to get into out of state. UF is not far behind though.

Nice ride!
