I worry (too much) about micro scratches on my BSM!

I have partial PPF. I had it installed on the full front (bumper, hood, fenders), mirrors, and rockers. I have not ceramic coated the car but am considering depending on how this first year goes with trying to keep the car clean.

No and no, i's just a car.

No ceramic coating currently as the salt in this climate makes them fail and I didn't want to have a partially failing ceramic coating on top of a PPF. I use Jescar Powerlock+, Colonite 845, and P&S Beadmaker layered in that order.

When I move to FL I'll do Gtechniq Halo.

The good thing about the Xpel PPF I have is that it's self healing. I don't end end up with microscratches at all.

I can't wait to finally clean her, she's filthy!

Nice front lip on your car! Which one is that?

It's the Alpha-N Carbon GT front lip. It's the least aggressive one they make. I've never seen pictures of it on a car and it was only in stock at IND one time, they had two, and I ordered one.

Has it changed the ride feel ?

izzyM2 · 03-30-2024, 08:44 AM

Initial own thoughts are minimal towards firm. I was not happy with the stock setup in comfort anyway. I thought it was a tad unstable in mid speed corners like transitioning from one freeway to another. I felt the car kind of a mild bounce. With the Eibachs I feel its now planted even in comfort as it should. Sport and sport plus is also great. I have to wait until it settles and an alignment is done for final thoughts.

Tint/Ceramic/xpel and iND bits going on now!

Nice, I opted for black accents on the blue part on the badges to match the car.

Full car and ceramic coating by Detailers Domain, I can't imagine owning a black car without doing both.

Honestly, well worth the investment if you intend to keep the car. I had a black F87.1 that I didn't do PPF on it right away, after three months of driving in the NJ/NY area it was completely peppered. Never again. Spent a few grand having it repainted and then filmed.

For sure man. I got mine on Monday and I’d have more peace of mind if it were wrapped and coated. Just need some funds haha
