And that is why up is the default position. I find the wind noise to be less when the deflector is down. I usually drive with the top down and windows/deflector up, unless I am taking a slow ride down the main drag in one of the local beach towns when the windows are down.

Do you mind telling me what the ceramic coating cost? And did you get PPF as well? I am just down the 401 in Waterloo and hope to compare to my local installers.

Thanks
Thx. I didn’t go with PPF this time as I decided to go with a 3 year lease and then move on to my next car. I think Espresso would look great on GT Silver ...

Thx. It’s back on the lift due to cold crappy weather. Based on the current visual perspective, that wheel gap is looking like it may need to be “fixed”. 😉

Default Nano coated and PPF


Mine just after nano coating. It makes a huge difference.

Wow, that espresso interior looks fantastic. Thanks for the pictures.

Now I have to ask, what BendPack lift is that and how high is your ceiling? I only have 109", which by my calculations leaves me 1-2" short to be able to stack my 67 Mustang over the Targa.

I've got approx. 130" in the middle of my garage but a bulkhead where the 2 posts are reduces that. Based on that limitation, I went with the Bendpak PLT-6S. The only downside is it only allows approx. 58" of height for the lower car (my previous A4 fit with a couple inches to spare and my S3 requires a little less than that. I was going to go with a different lift but the $15k price was a non-starter. No question that 109" is tight. My guess is 9.5' is the minimum. No problem if the Mustang was a convertible with folding windshield …

Thx. Love the white with red interior ... I seriously considered this before going with my choice.
