The car has been at the detailer since Aug 7th getting a full wrap, so getting a bit frustrated that it is still not done. Hopefully today or tomorrow I will get it back.
The first track day was pretty awesome, while I had never timed myself previously, I have to say the car did feel quicker than my old GTR.
Have another track day coming up this Friday.
Next week the car goes in for a track alignment.
Infotainment system does not seem to like my Ipod, cannot advance tracks for some reason.

Finally pick car up from detailer.
Full wrap on car, track days can be pretty punishing on paint. Have a few nicks from taking it out with no protection.
Track rims and tires back on. Love me some deep dish rims! Like the look of these more than the stockers.

When my GTS was wrapped it was in the detail shop a week and it cost $6950 so I guess your experience was right on track.
What wheels are you running btw?

It actually does take a couple of days. First they wash the car, do any patient correction and or clay the entire car. They dismount trim , lights , etc. Put the PPF on. Then reassemble the car. In my case they put three coats of ceramic coating on and allowed it to cure between coats.

Not worried about thrashing these rims.
Credit goes to Bish. I borrowed from his find.

Supposedly wash only on the matte finishes; no correction or clay bar or it can damage the OEM matte finish. Regardless my GHM totally covered in Xpel Stealth on the paint, and Xpel Ultimate on the shiny bits took 5 days.

They really are a fantastic wheel and the pricing plus customer service is second to none, IMHO. I love mine and yours look fab on the car. Congrats!!

Still breaking her in...
Car is really good, just did Nurburgring and Spa in mine, Euro delivery, 700 mile trip, car is much more sorted then GTR. Suspension is on another level, chassis is stiffer, Aero is hard to tell but I am sure it was working, brakes are vastly improved, I have carbons. Different pads and proper ducting made them flawless, my stock GTR , non pro, same tracks, pedal went to the floor multiple times. Power seems the same, shifting and trans seem the same as GTR. Turn in is super crisp, rear is stable, doesn't take a set like GTR, just follows the nose into the apex with less drama, less vertical movement in the rear ( I left it on "as delivered" stock shock settings) . It's now definitely a GT3RS comparable type of car where as I don't feel that way about the non pro. Its on boat here, miss her already. I am pretty sure I was the first customer to take a GTR Pro to the Nordscheif, useless cool bit of information. On a side note, all the carbon and new nose is beautifully constructed I just wish they didn't use cheap plastic for fender vets, that was a bad move and rushed IMO

Thanks for sharing. I believe my car is spec'd the same as yours.
You figure changing the suspension up offers much change? I'm not entirely sure I have the current skillset to notice it - but I'll find out soon enough I suppose.
Hopefully someone makes some new fender vents for us in the future if the plastic ones are that bad!

The PRO is phenomenal out of the box, I
My car is in the shop getting a bit more aggressive track alignment done which is easy low hanging fruit.
I am interested to see what the stock specs are.

The fender vents are quite bad unfortunately. Very cheap appearance.
The PRO is phenomenal out of the box, Iknow think I am faster in the PRO than my old GTR.

Fellas, I have spoke with Tyler and I believe Nick over @ Apex. I should receive my car sometime in October; however, I should have the VIN before then so we can pull the part number for the vents. Apex has expressed interest in buying a set for themselves as we should have enough interest for a number of us to purchase the carbon ones - or if that isn't the case then I can pop mine out and ship them across to make a mould.
Might be able to get a group buy as well. I'll keep everyone updated in a new thread once my VIN comes and a direction is decided. I am in 100% for these.
