You didn't paint correct prior to the ceramic coating?

My car was delivered in June and when not driving it has a factory cover. So, the paint was in great shape. Also, the clay, prep, and Si02 ceramic from Mkees37 was to easy.
Cheers

Well... does last night count?
While installing my K40 System, and after seeing someone else do this, I decided to wrap my RF air damn with golf heat reflective film... I found a large enough 24" x 36" roll, that fit perfect, no seams, once I stripped all the brackets... I think it turned out nice. I also sealed a few large gaps with 1" strip foam... every little bit counts I suppose

It has been nothing but rain and 50's here for the last 2 weeks, bad combo for high HP car with summer tires. Last year was better I got to the 2nd week in November.

I did good this year almost 4k miles.

I’m thinking next week is Indian summer. Take a couple of days vacation and enjoy. :

Thanks guys! $19 on Amazon...

They have both the distressed (which is what I have on mine) and the standard straight flag.

Pretty easy to install and nice and subtle...

Thank you! Yours looks great against the silver paint. Sharkskin?
I just ordered it in distressed.

Added black door handles and a wash.

The door handles are surprisingly easy to swap out. Took less than 10 min to pop off the covers and replace.

Mirrors will be next, when I can find some black ones for a decent price or decide to just have them painted.

Drove the 1LE to the grocery store to pick up a few things for the game this afternoon at my wife's request. Parked next to an island in the parking lot out in the boonies.
