Very nice JP. I felt like such a dope because it took me like a minute to figure out the last pic 
lol.
I really like how you took your time with it and did it right. She looks absolutely brilliant

Thank you everyone! I should be finished tonight with the interior. I truly cannot wait to take delivery. On a separate note, I am happy I did not get the cross spoke wheels. These rims are SUPER easy to clean.
I chose Iridium over Polar/Diamond White due to Iridium being a understated color. I know a lot of people will do the "White & Black" theme. No offense to those who ordered that but I wanted to be different. Plus, I forgot how easy Silver is to maintain.

It was a PAIN to get them so clean. Yes, I used a 3" Machine with the SF 400 and then finished it with a SG 4000. I kept making sure the plastic did not to hot so I would not burn it. I may clear bra those as well.

Yes. I am putting a bra on the following: Front Bumper, A Wing, Full Hood, Both Fender, Mirror Caps, & Rocker Panels to protect the black inlay.

After 5 years the clear bra on my C300 was pretty trashed, but the paint underneath was absolutely perfect when I replaced it. My big regret was that I didn't do the headlights. They're looking pretty tired now.

Consider getting a bra for the headlights too! That soft plastic gets pitted so easily.

I thought about that as well.

I would die if I had a new car sitting at the dealer waiting for clear bra.

JP what do you think about this
http://cqfinest.com/faq.html
why these expensive cars don't come properly protected is beyond me... or at least have factory options for these (special coating, clear bra, etc)

Here is a small mod but yet can change the entire look of the backend. I had painted the chrome strip along the trunk to match the car. Eventually, all of the lettering/trunk star will be gloss black. I did not go with gloss black because it was too drastic for my liking. All of the work was done by iND. Thoughts?
