What's up with the wiper arms? The car is not even two years old and they are starting to noticably fade. What crap! I suppose I can get new ones under warranty. I also noticed the paint on the rear bumper starting to lighten faster than the rest of the car. ughhh

 

tend to fade --have you seen those hondas parked on the street from the 80's the wiper arms are all silver by now. It is one of those things that sunlight do to paint job. I heard that if you put some wax on the wiper arm (I do), it will help protect the paint a little better. I am not sure if everyone has this, but the bumper color on the Max--whatever color one might have is slightly different than the rest of the car. The bumper is plastic and the rest is sheetmetal. Paint will adhere differently.

As for the quality of the Max'-- it is still very good, but I do notice it not being as "well made" as the previous generations...but then again, that is my opinion. It is nonetheless the car with the biggest bang for the buck. =)
