Yeah, I wish I'd done whole car PPF and ceramic coating when I bought it instead of waiting 2 years. Some of the rock damage isn't repairable at all, but most of it was fixable. It wasn't cheap though, you're looking at $2k-$4k depending on coating choice and how much damage there is to be fixed.
I went to the track today, but didn't go as hard as I usually do. First time on the RS4s on track and I don't think I'm a fan of them. They definitely grip, but they feel like they want to wash out and I'd say my confidence was much higher especially in blind corners on AD08Rs. Car is somewhat understeer prone now and I'm not sure why, might be due to wider tires and a need for more front camber, so I may need to do some suspension tuning. Front LCAs might happen sooner than originally planned.
