Don't let these buzz kills put you off, it's your car, do what you want. Most every car made since 1990 has been designed to appeal to women more than men and that includes the IS. The sorry truth is women make the buying decision and car makers know that.

Why do you think so many of us are desperately modding our cars trying to get just a little testosterone back in them? Girl cooties! That's why!

Seriously ManXP, wrap your damn car.

Its not cheap to have it professionally done and if youve ever worked with this stuff you'll find out its not as easy as it looks. Theres a guy on our local forum thats used a matte 3m to cover his C63 and a CLK63, ive seen the C63 in person and it looks pretty sick. Price wise he was saying around $4000 per car. It's a good option on those cars because you get full paint protection on a car thats quite costly so resale time you've got flawless paint. http://forums.beyond.ca/st/284357/ma...pped-the-c63-/

Carver, you crack me up

If manhood truly is at stake driving the RX, I say just get a set of these:

Borrowed from one of our classic discussions in the 3rd gen forum.

Talk about beating a dead horse. Wait, that's another thread

This is EXACTLY what I'm afraid of because I have the same "bad feeling", that's why I want to see real photos first....
