Honda Accords suck, especially the Coupes. What terrible designs. Anyone that decides to hook one up has got something wrong with their mind.



Sure it'll keep from scratches, but will increase drag and what happens when you get a dent?

Mythbusters showed a car with golf ball texture reduces drag and improves MPG by quite a lot. FWIW.



Anyway the problem with this "paint" is that it would be stupid to keep clean. Black to show dirt PLUS textured to hold dirt. I got no problem with it being bedliner, except that it's just as simple to paint with actual, you know, PAINT if you're not a total failure at the painting learning curve.
