It's a beauty! I think pictures never do GT silver justice though. I know how much better it looks in real. Enjoy & congratulations!
Driving these cars just puts a smile on one's face : )

Hah - funny you should say that. The silver color didn’t really sell me till I saw it in person. I had been looking for white until that fateful day...

Beautiful. Haven't seen too many with bright silver GT4 wheels. Looks wonderful and they'll always be clean!

Congrats on picking up this fantastic car. One tip: get the wheels and calipers ceramic coated, if not already done...ask me how I know. GT Silver is just beautiful.

Argent wheels look so much better than black IMO.
Enjoy!

Interesting, what does the ceramic coating do for the wheels and calipers? It has the ceramic brakes so from what I can tell brake dust is nearly non existent.

Nano coating the wheels and calipers makes them considerably easier to clean. Granted, with PCCBs it's not a huge deal as, to your point, they produce almost no brake dust.

I have been very impressed with GTechniq C5 wheel armor. And you can pull the wheels, decon them, and apply it yourself. One additional advantage is you can coat the barrels of the wheels. Just overall makes cleanup easier.

I use the pressure washer to rinse. Apply Adam's Wheel cleaner, let set, and hit them with the pressure washer again. Barely have to touch them beyond that.

Is there any truth to car wash soap damaging carbon ceramic break rotors? I saw one YouTube where it was mentioned but haven’t seen much about it anywhere else. He basically said to use PH neutral soap.

I haven't seen that anywhere. I do use PH neutral soaps though, as it helps reduce spotting.

Also, I failed to say it, but congratulations on the GT4! I hope you love it. Everytime I drive mine it is such an occassion. Truly incredible car and ticks all the boxes for me.

Yea, haven’t had anything but a smile since I got it home.

Here is the build sheet for those that are curious - car is CPO from a local dealer here. Got it with 10k miles w/a production date of 7/16.
