Here is my Black Kiz with 5% in the back and 35% on front.
I also included a pic to show you what MaGuires Gold Carnuba wax can do for your finish.
Let me know what you think!

Now that is a really nice looking car! The black on black looks really nice. Nice job with the wax too!

sweet picture, just like mine minus the tint. Any paint issues yet?

My state has a weird tinting law, but windows on Kizashi actually block UV and I can tell this since my transitional glasses don't change color at all when i'm in the car.

I have had the paint chips liike everyone else - I drive on the highway every day 1 hour each way to work.
I recently purchased the 3m paint protection film and tried to install it myself - The hood is easy to install - the bumper was a tough job - for the most part came out ok I am going to see if the sun helps heat up a couple of bubles.
The only other thing I notice - you have to keep it waxed - The finish seems to be delicate - it seems like the clear coat may not be as durable as it should be.

I got the 3M kit as well, but just for hood, front fenders and mirrors (which I'll substitute for the rear door sills). I will definitely install it before winter season. I just wanted to wait to see if Suzuki wanted to do anything in regards to the excessive paint chips (pictures posted in the main forum).

Otherwise, I'll just have to touch up some 40-50 chips myself and then do the 3M.

These cars should just come with 3M pre-installed --> much more happier owners during the 3/36,000 miles warranty period


my dealer even found chips on the windshield :shock: , which he said I should just watch for now unless they develop into a crack that needs to be filled up
