Love it

When I first got my CR GT4 and was having the front-end covered with PPF; we did the Hood in Stealth just as a test - let me tell you great that looked. Problem, I was willing to do the whole car so we took it off.

Just some food for thought

Oh Jimmy, there you go planting those aesthetic seeds which for me can so easily become a never ending obsession for addons. Your point however does seem very attractive

Matt thank you. You know you're always welcome to take the car for a spin.

The car looks great in almost any color. As far as everyone getting a carmine, hmmm..... eeek!!...

... erm..."Carmine absolutely sucks! Its the most useless color out there! No one should get it...basically a red...yuk! Don't do it!"

That should so it!

Thank you Hugh. You’ve got a nice toy coming soon as well. I can’t wait to see it at the track.

M- you made a wise choice. I think the color is perfect. Despite the extra cost over Guards, I’m happy with mine. It looks fantastic without being too shouty ... none of the “hey look at me, I drive a Porsche” feel.

Thank you D! I'm happy with it. Never thought I'd be a red guy but I am! Your car looks awesome and I bet it now sounds fantastic with the Rahal exhaust.

Ok , I googled the Ceramic coating and understand the paint correction now. Still wonder if I should get the clear wrapped bra { Expel} ? as I plan to track the car. I don't think the Ceramic coating would help with rock chips or maybe helps a little ? Thanks

I'll start off by congratulating you on the car!

Now I'll try to decipher the rest of your message

Paint correction: where someone who knows what they're doing removes the swirls and other paint defects. These include residue and blemishes from the factory. In essence, they get the paint to be as close to perfect as possible.

Ceramic coating: is a anti-static, weather-resistant nano coating that shines and protects your vehicle. Water beads off and makes washing the car a breeze.

Stone guards: shark-fin like rubber magnetic slap-ons offers extra protection to the area around the rear fender that is prone to road debris. I'm only going to use these occasionally as I don't like the look much. They are available at http://magnagrafik.com

Especially if tracking, I would ABSOLUTELY PPF (expel, etc) your car. At the very least do it on the entire front, hood, fenders, mirrors, and leading edges (pillars, sills, partial rear fender). Ceramic coating will NOT protect your car as PPF would. The coating goes on top of your PPF to give it UV and shine etc.
