Hey everyone,
I'm picking up my red si coupe next week, and I couldn't be more excited. I live in Houston, Texas, but am buying the car where I grew up in Ohio and then driving it down with my Dad. Should be a fun little roadtrip.
Anyway, the reason for the thread is this: I've never owned a brand new car. I currently drive an 04 Accord that was with me through half of high school, all of college, and the 2+ years I've been down here in Texas. I'm not well-versed in what preventative care options exist on buying a new car, and I plan on having my Si 10+ years.
I will be getting a window tint done because of how hard the sun beats down here in the summer, and while researching reputable places to have that done, I've been introduced to this world of paint protection films as well.
This forum is full of the true enthusiasts. Have any of you had this done? Is it effective? Cost effective? Are there different types that I should look into choosing between? Pretty much explain this to me like I'm 16 years old if you have the time.
I've learned a ton just lurking here over the last month or so since I decided to buy the car, so I respect the wealth of knowledge around here.
Thank you in advance!
