Good luck with the 10. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

Now that you mention it...the only time I've even opened my rear doors so far is to dry the door jams after washing the car I'm going to have to check it out since I thought the rear legroom on the VIII/IX was great and easily held 2 adults even with the Binary seat lowering brackets.

Evo 10 in WW looks great. Its gotta be tough to keep the finish looking prestine though. Are you doing a clear bra on the front?

I'm not sure about the clearbra yet, I had one installed on my IX but I'm not sure if I want to spend that kind of cash right now; I will for sure have the headlights clear bra'd though. My IX had been through 1 Michigan and 2 Minnesota winters, had over 50k miles on it, and the paint still looked showroom new; not even a single scratch or door ding. I try to take care of my stuff as best as possible (i.e. I'm **** about my cars).

I'm sure you're read about it, but the Evo 10 paint is even more delicate (to put it nicely) than the Evo 8/9 paint. Another area to watch beside the front of the car is behind the front and rear wheels. Those pick up paint damage very quickly. I've got a buddy here in town with an Evo 10, and he likes to keep his 10 looking as good as possible as well. He says mud flaps or the wide sideskirts are needed in the front to keep the door from getting chipped.
