No, you don't. Trust me.
I think we can all agree black cars look sick af when they're clean but they are, by far, the hardest color to keep clean. You notice stuff way more on a black car. Other colors hide nicks and scratches WAY more than a black car. Unless you have a garage and a clear bra and you're not driving on the highway everyday then a black car is perfect for you. If not, then it isn't. That is one thing I didn't think about when I got mine. I do not have a garage, the paint was 5yrs old, I got a decent sized scratch on it the first week I got it and got a ton of them on my hood and bumper from driving on the highway to work. I'm going to need to do a full repaint when I get a garage and then I'll put a clear bra on. But trust me, you don't want a black car.

I must agree with you sir. I have a black 06, and man everything shows. The worst part about its my daily car, and the Cali highways are always packed so my bumper and hood get beat up pretty bad

I got a quote from a tint shop today for a clear bra install. While there he was showing me some "new tint" that just came out. He compared it to the old regular window tint (35%) and put it in this little heatbox, and it barely blocked any heat, then he put a 100% clear tint of the new stuff, and you can't feel any heat. It's supposed to block 97% of heat through the windshield.
Most people use it for the front windshield.
Pretty cool, figured I'd share.

Started cleaning rubber marks off, what a pain in the ***. Last trackday, I got a lot more rubber than normal.
