Default NB was a bad choice!

I thought it would be cool to get a car that matched my watch...bad idea...NB is way to hard to keep clean! Also, i have owned the car for a week and a half, and there are already scratches/door bumps! I hate parking lots. Note to Pre-Tc owners, get a light color. End of rant.

Exactly why I got my AP. I loved the NB but I knew it would be impossible to keep clean/scratch-free. Also I was tired of the heat, I have a black Integra also. My tC is soooo much cooler and still havent gotten one visible scratch 1.3 years later.

muhahahaha FM is a b*tch to keep clean any freaking dark color is a b*tch to keep clean. I just bought a new 06' Pathfinder in the Majestic Blue and its just as bad as the FM it shows all the dirt. If you want a clean color go with Silver

Ah...is there a glitch in The Matrix? j/k! You're so true about going with silver. It hides dirt very well. If you have a dark colored car, invest in a California Duster. After you break the duster in, it works really good.

Duh!!..its called Car Care Maintenance!!...I have a FM I clean it 2 times a day!!...If you do that its NOT very hard to keep a Dark Color looking Sweet!...Takes some "TLC"...

Thats why you have to Park wayout and find an end spot so nobody ever parks next to you!!...then thats how u prevent door dings!!

I don't get any scratches on my blitz blue mica, but there is a problem with bird crap. They seem to be attracted to my car...i get a huge clump of it usually once a day, it's gross. And I look around at other cars parked around me, no bird crap on their cars!
