Today I finally got around to installing my acexxon rear reflector inserts which I've been sitting on since 2017!

Have to say...I'm digging them. Makes the rear seem wider.

Excuse the dirty exterior..waiting on some shade to wash...

Balancing up the carbon fiber to having fun driving ratio in the thread, hope no one minds

(ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong with carbon fiber!)


Chasing some Legend racing cars today on a tight small test track. They pull away on the straights...

I'm close to 2m tall so it's quite far down in my line of sight. The rear view mirror though is totally in the way in some situations....

What ceramic coating you use for the wheels? See a wide range of CC's out there...from the premium ones to the diluted versions in spray bottles..like hydrosilex
I used 2 coats of GYEON quartz Q² Rim. I did this over the winter so I was able to take my time with the prep and applied the coats about a week apart.

I use hydrosilex as maintenance on the ceramic coat I paid to have done on the body. 11 months in the ceramic on the body is doing great.

I am trying to find out about ceramic friendly bug & tar removers tho. If anyone has experience, please sing out.

It was more deductive reasoning -- I knew BMW QC had an event there on the weekend, and I saw where you lived. I'll be instructing with them at Tremblant in June.

Ceramic coatings are chemical resistant. The only way to remove them is by machine polish. You should be safe using any bug & tar remover.

Bit of bad luck today. Bad news is I have to refinish another wheel. Good news is I have an excuse to put some PS4S on the car.

Washed the new car and put on some CF goodies. Still waiting on the front lip and I’m unsure on the rear winglets?

Thanks! I haven't noticed any glare issues yet, but it's too early to tell.

Speaking of glare, I have noticed that the P3 vent gauge at night puts off a horrible glare onto the window which makes it difficult to see out of the side view mirror. I wonder if I can turn the intensity of the gauges light down a bit?
