Ok. Tint set for early next week. Waiting for a good stretch of sunny days so I can get her coated. Factory installed swirls aren't too bad. Hopefully a one step correction with the polish will do. Also plan on doing the wheels and calipers. Will be my first time working with centerlocks.
check the gloss black deck lid…mine looked terrible (swirls) from the factory….
GT3 side skirts wrapped in CF vinyl. Definitely a five footer. Top edges look terrible from install. Will get it professionally done later. Regarding install, super easy. Just follow the directions posted in the Thread. Committing myself to complete one mod a week.

What brand/product are you planning on doing the wheels with?
Im gonna use the gyeon mohs on the brakes and wheels as well. Got the 50ml bottle to do so.
I would be interested in how you like it (application, use, cleaning, brake dust stickiness, etc.), only because I used CarPro DLux and Gliss on the PCar and literally hate the way it reacts to brake dust, water, and normal driving dust. I used Gtechniq C5 (or whatever it is) for my BMW and Exploder and am pretty impressed with that so far. My experiences have nothing to do with much of anything, just curious as to how you like it rolling forward. : )

Will report back. I've used the Gtechnic on my DD. I dont think I used enough of it, because the dirt doesn't simply wash off as I think it should.
Smarttop installed. It seriously isn't that bad. The hardest part for me was getting the two plugs back in. Here's a hack that's been mentioned before: go through the back with the top half opened. Lift up on the back of the cartop and have your hands and arms go under the cartop and work from that position. Sorry. Looks like I didn't take any pics.
CF mirrors installed. As good as I coild get it. Not happy with the bottom inside corners. I couldnt get the clips 100% securely in. It'll do until it doesn't.
. It's pretty straightforward while doing it, and it's actually scary how easy it is to remove the mirror and shell.
Something that wasn't in the video thay surprised me were the strings that were tied to secure the shell in case they fall off or something?
I decided to scrap the center chrono color swap. I tried using a plastic pry tool to pivot out the center housing trim and it left a nice outline of it in my leather dash. Pisses me off every time I see it. So I have a red one for sale if anyone's interested. $50 shipped.
Removed the CF wrap from the GT3 side skirts as bubbles started coming up. Also had the RGS grilles installed. Wrap shop charged me $50 to install. Done. No brainer after hearing some of the horror stories.
On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the absolute best), how happy are you with the Arctic Grey colour?
Great question. I'm gonna have to say a 10. Completely smitten with it rn. Maybe it's like when you first start seeing someone, and they can do no wrong. But I repeat: You'll only love this color if you like the pictures of it when it shows as a blueish hue.

Nice. My car is at my local port now. Should take deliver in about 3 weeks.

I would like to buy the red center chrono dial from you if it is available. Thank you!
Just got back from tinting. Went with Tint MD in Annapolis and would highly recommend them. Keith is an old school installer and been doing it since 1989. He let me hang out with him while he was installing and just shot the sh*t. Had me out in about 1.5 hous. They're completely transparent in their pricing and was able to see the actual film coming directly out of the box. I went with Xpel XR Plus. 20% all around and 55% on the windshield. It looks dark when parked inside, but it's welcome. Absolute differenc⅚e in letting in the sun and heat between driving there and driving back

The way it should've came from the factory.
Totally agree. Who installed for you -- I'll drop mine off to have them do.
