Congrats man, we’ll have to link up soon since you’re in the area. Monoblocks look amazing!
I took delivery of mine yesterday. Long time coming but so grateful to finally have it now. Arabian grey in person looks stunning and happy we went with it (wife’s preference)
going in next week for paint correction, ppf, ceramic coating, and tint. Will post additional pics after it’s protected and coated.
what’s the best method to black out the side reflectors? Can those be replaced with black ones or easiest to have it wrapped with black film?

Are most people here PPFing theirs? I definitely want to do ceramic coating but still on the fence for PPF given its pricey to do the whole car and it needs to be redone every couple or so years (I think right?). Also still not completely convinced of its protection given I feel big enough impacts (maybe a highway rock) will dig through anyway. For reference, mine will be garage parked and mostly city driving with the odd road-trip every now and then. Also for reference but I think our roads here in Canada tend to not be as bad as a lot of the states which can be rough. Would love to hear from some guys who have it applied!

I have a different daily driver now, so now I only drive the G locally and not on the freeways and will press my luck.

I PPF'd my 2021 and used to drive it on the highway a lot. I had two rock chips where it went through the PPF. One hit the very square vertical edge of the hood and tore the PPF and chipped the paint underneath. Another hit the small paint area in the lower passenger corner below the corner of the windshield and put a divot into the paint. PDR could have fixed it but it would have required removal of the PPF. Due to this experience I'm skipping PPF on all my cars and just doing ceramic coating to help with cleaning.

Thank you both for the reply and this is the direction I was leaning towards! Ive also heard if you miss the period for which the PPF is supposed to be replaced/removed, it can actually cause damage that will need paint correction anyway which is just another headache. I'll just stick with ceramic coating the entire car and possibly paint correction once a blue moon.

Fair enough, Im in Vancouver so I think it should be ok without PPF. Might do the windshield protection given the flat/vertical nature of the one in the G and its tendency to chip easier.

cermic coating is ok but doesn’t last long and its not real protection

Perfect spec and love the monoblocks. I didn't care for them in photos at first but quickly changed my mind when I finally saw them in person.
