Those with CBPs....

How easy/hard is it to keep it looking clean? Hide dust ok?

Currently have an RBP that I'm strongly thinking of trading in for a Type-S. IF I do, undecided on color...

 

its easy to keep clean and it hides dust pretty well, it also hides scratches pretty well, i have a hirline scratch on my hood that is only visible at a certain angle

 

I too have CBP...I agree that it is not that hard to keep clean. During pollen season I could see that dust on the car but other then that it doesn't seem to show that much dust. I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

 

I have an '08 CBP TL and that color with the stock wheels sold me. As said above the color hides the dust and road rash pretty well. It's not black or white but in my mind is distinctive enough. I would get another.

 

awesone color. most of my client keep thinking my 07 cbp is a bimmer.weird.

 

Hey alvin!

What will you be doing with your aspec lip kit? Mind selling it to me =D

 

Like the others have stated, CBP is not difficult to keep clean. The wheels however get dirty quick with brake dust.

 

As long as you keep the front wheels clean, most people won't know if it is dirty or not. If you spend a lot of time around a CBP you'll be able to tell, otherwise it just looks a bit darker to the untrained eye.

Like others have said, it hides unfortunate scratches decently. Tint your windows and it hides dirt even better as the "darker" theme carries through.

 

Thanks for the feedback everyone!
Still undecided on CBP and WDP IF I decide to trade...
Too bad local dealer don't have KBP..it would be an easy decision for me

Walker: probably won't part out the kit. Gotta see trade in values with/without the added accessories

 

I have an 08 CBP as well. I love it and now think it's a great color. My daughter picked the color. I told her I didn't care as long as it wasn't white or black. She picked great! CBP hides dirt and it doesn't scream for attention and I also predict that it will not look dated quite as quickly. I think the color has a certain restrained elegance. (It also reminds me a little of my beloved '94 champagne Legend with the cashmere interior which remains my favorite car of all time.)

Of course, I've never been a big fan of white or black cars. So, for me, it wouldn't be much of a decision. Both colors have to be kept scrupulously clean and waxed and even then they tend to show paint flaws, dirt, scratches far too easily. White also tends to be a fleet car color choice.

 

no prob, im sure they wont give u shit for it. acura is hella cheap....
