So I managed to collect my GT from the detailer on Friday. He finished up the full Xpel, ceramic, and Exoshield. Looks amazing. No surprise, but post paint correction (couple minor areas needed some attention) the car looks showroom new. Best of all, I can now drive with much less fear of...

So this is a reply to a “value question” on a different forum (you can probably guess which one). Unlike many, I understand the need for value dialogue and don’t knee jerk resist those discussions. I thought I might cross post this in the GT Forum (is also posted in the F****** forum too). I...

I totally agree with this idea. At the same time though, his death will always oddly commemorate my purchase. It was an honor to deal with him, and his sudden passing was, and still is, a total shock. I still cannot hardly believe that it happened.

Thanks for all the well wishes. Quick update, my detailer will have my full Xpel along with Exoshield done on Friday. The wait has been maddening, but I know the QC will be absolutely perfect, and certainly worth the wait in the end. I truly miss the heck out of the car. Sadly, with all the...

Thanks for all the advice everyone. I just punched an order for both the side and top vents. I connected with Rich Brooks about having them painted to match. So once I receive them, I will send the top vents his way for that procedure. I’ll update everyone when it’s all done.

Awesome. Congrats. Jealous. I will have targeting a C8 Z06 for sure.

I’ll reach out to Rich and gather information. Thanks.

Wow! That looks great. That’s probably the way to go. Thanks for sharing.

Thinking about ordering a set for my newly acquired 2005 GT. Has anyone done a set of top vents blue painted to match the stripe? I am trying to decide between painting them to match or simply powdering coating them black. I definitely want the side vents in black. Trying to think about...

Soooo early 2017 or late 2017....lol

As I posted previously, I bought my FGT just moments before the ground gave way. On one hand, poor timing. On the other, perfect timing. Oddly, I have zero regrets. Call me crazy, but I don’t think the world is going to come to an end, nor do I look at this as a Depression level event...

Already up to $260 before premium. Still 8 days left.

Bumping this old thread. I am having Exoshield installed this week. I have had Clearplex on two different Ferrari’s, but evidently Exoshield is a superior product. https://www.getexoshield.com/exoshield

So the new...err old...tires are a complete game changer. On the short trip from my Lamborghini dealer who mounted/balanced my Bridgestone’s to the detailer who is doing the paint correction, full PPF, and ceramic, the car felt completely different. The 15 year Goodyear’s were so bad, and...

Extremely sad update. The dealer that I purchased my GT from, and provided the glowing review in the earlier post, passed away earlier this week. I found out from his wife yesterday. I was following up on the title and a couple punch list items and she informed me by text using his phone...

Talked at length to Dexter today. That dude is so sharp and so knowledgeable. His command of the subject material is completely confidence inspiring. I’ll be using him for my local maintenance needs. Thanks for the recommendation.

So on my my next set of times, how do I avoid getting day old bread? Is there a particular source that is better than another?

So certainly better than the 15 years Goodyears that were on the car, but certainly far less than ideal? My ONLY driving is conducted on quiet, lonely two lane back country roads. No track days. Spirited for sure, but extremely sensible. I take safety to myself and others seriously. Too...

So my new Bridgestone‘s arrived Mon/Tues. I‘m scheduled to have them installed this morning. The fronts are 24 months old, and the rears are 39 months old. Is that about normal? Seems like that will shorten the useful life considerably. On the bright side, the tires were somewhat reasonably...

So I have Bridgestone’s arriving Mon and Tues. I got them for $1538 shipped. Felt pretty good about that. I guess I will check the build dates when they arrive. Hopefully they will work. I hadn’t heard that Dunlop had a good option.
