@Elliotw44 Looks like the vents alone cost about $1600? Or is there a better way to buy DB Carbon stuff?

Do custom cut/wrapped edges, installer is key so find a good one. Make sure you talk with them about the hood and being able to fully wrap the edges at the top corners, have a discussion about scoring the film and not cutting through on the paint. Pull the headlights, side markers and headlight washers. Suntek is my preference but comes down to who your installer is setup with.
Precut you will have alot of exposed edges that will collect dirt over time.

When a black car is clean, it's a hard color to beat.

I don’t notice much, but it’s hard to say as the LWFW and clutch went in at the same time which add some vibrations. Certainly didn’t do anything too harsh. Definitely notice the change to performance though. Rear hooks up much better. Seems like less slack.

Smart or not I started doing this about a year ago so I thought I’d share… and just a bit cheaper than a torque multiplier.
After buying the Quickjack I tried something that made my center locks stupid easy…
I just wrap a quick strap on the outside spoke “multiplier” and through my Quickjack and it takes about 30 seconds per wheel…no gear…no parking brake…no wife help… no brake nanny… and no breaking or torquing on the ground. And no it’s not going to “pull my car off” the Jack
