It is way way more difficult than I was expecting. I mean its do-able as a DIY if you are used to working on your car and have a lot of patience and time... It took me probably an hour for the first one and 30 minutes for the other side

Felt cute...might delete later lol

I live near iND, they handle the install. But yes it is much harder than previous rear reflector swaps.

Got a wash in and pulled out the DSLR. Yes the pictures are touched up a little (no I don't have any idea what I'm doing). I was just trying to make the wheels and black trim visible

also sorry if I'm supposed to only post one picture, I am a whore

Car washing has never been easier and the paint feels so slick and has such depth.

Link to the rear diffuser please

Nice, I see you left Juarez, MX, welcome to the sunshine state.

It's on the way, carbon fiber MP style. Coming from Taiwan so who knows when it'll get here

Instead of having some items shipped to me, today I decided to take a little drive and pick 'em up. First time on the freeway in 2 weeks, man I missed that! Car is dirty as hell, but I love her anyway!

hubbahubba · 04-25-2020, 04:48 PM

She isn't dirty anymore. Good wash and clay bar today.

Looks good. Like the black and white. Have you had issues with iron fallout in the white? I have a white Infiniti Q50 now and the paint is so soft the fallout causes a huge problem with rust spots showing up in the paint...

Just use an iron decontamination remover. It smells horrible when you spray it on but it does a great job getting rid of those iron deposits (they aren't actually rust).

Yeah, tried that over and over again. I think the q50 paint is just shitty... the fallout doesn't fully come out no matter how much iron remover or clay bar I use.

Not that much of an issue anymore anyways... I'm turning that car in in less than 3 months and getting a M340i. Can you say upgrade?

Lol definitely an upgrade. I have a Mineral White M340i and the iron fallout has been a breeze to take care of (keeping in mind my car is ceramic coated which really helps with iron fallout).

Good to know. My M340i will be Portimao Blue and I plan on coating it with GTechniq CSL and Exo as soon as I take delivery.

That is exactly what I did for coating. Haven't noticed the color dropping off at all.

Your car looks good as always. This is the color I will more than likely purchase although I keep building other colors.
