Sharp eye there. Had to look closely at the seats when you mentioned them.
Well at least he has an option to switch them around with only labor cost.
I thought that was a pic of a PPF shop. The equipment and the “exit” sign seem to be in a business setting.

The GT2 and Viper are at the PPF shop. I own the 458, Triumph Moto2, and S550.

I’ve received more compliments on the Gentian Blue than anything else I’ve had. Love the way it changes shade based on the light. Doesn’t hurt that the base shape of this car is so damn good looking.

Default First Wash

She finally had her first wash, and I’m so glad I coated the wheels with Gyeon Rim Coating. The brake dust literally flew off the wheels. I really can get rid of my wheel wash bucket and the brushes. Amazing stuff.

Nice collection! I had a Daytona 675R and it was a really amazing bike!

Gentian Blue does indeed look amazing! I too love how it changes the shade depending on the lighting. Was finally able to see it on a Taycan the other day, looks quite navy like in the shade but really eye catching in the sun.

Really looking forward to my Spyder in Gentian Blue

Gentian looks better on GT4/Spyder than any other model imo.

The way the light catches the curves

totally agree. I saw it in person on a 992 before I took delivery and I was not impressed. Made me doubt my choice. Bot on the GT4-Spyder it's stunning. Everyone that saw my car where amazed by the color and the way it changes it's personality based on lighting.

Just a project to protect the webbing and door grab. I plan on making sets of these to include the seat side bolsters to match the exterior or stitching If anyone is interested. As for the mats they’re made to fit, I like the feel and I don’t want to wear a hole in the OEM ones. Not sure if I’ll have all the colors available, but I can get blue, red, black, silver or grey stitching. Just a new project if I see any interest...

I inquired about the price Of ceramic coating at a local detail shop. They quoted $1400, with annual refreshing/reapplication of the “sacrificial layer” at $200.
WTF !
Paint correction was included. But the price and annual maintenance seems outrageous.

While towards the higher end, that price is not outrageous at all.
Did they say what coating they are using?

It's the first time I hear of a sacrificial layer. I heard of a gloss layer on top of less glossy ceramics, maybe they mean that?

Can someone explain what is the exact function off the $500 smart phone compartment, if it doesn’t even charge the phone wirelessly?
