Funny thing is, I went to the high end shop for my PPF install, and paid a premium price. The guy specializes in exotics and seemed to have the better rep in town. Not always easy to find good help.

The installer seemed confident about about getting the clear-bra cleaned up okay when I dropped off the car today. Said it was very rare for customers to have problems...so fingers crossed.

The bra has already saved me from a significant ding. Had an accident happen right in front of me on the highway and drove through some debris. Would have taken a good square inch of paint off the corner of the bumper, buffed right out of the PPF. Amazing material in that regard.

So, after seeing another Whiteout Monogram complete with mismatched spoiler yesterday, I changed my mind and canceled my Monogram order. None of them grab me the way our Silver Ignition color does. Instead, I'll continue with minor performance upgrades unless/until TRD rolls out an S/C.

Registry and Details entries were updated. Glad to be back and will exercise restraint with future editions...I think. Thanks for the advice and tips, it was appreciated. FR-S pilots are fine specimens.

Private sale. Monogram package discount price was attractive until I had a chance to sit in a couple and realize that it wasn't enough to sell my favorite color.

Yes I love our color! Especially with my gram lights in winning blue. They compliment each other perfectly.

It's super hard to get an accurate picture of the color. Most pics the wheels look black

I think you made the right call and won't regret it. Especially in whiteout. I love whiteout but the 86 white just seems to yellow faster than other whites I've seen and owned.

Nice wheels. I'm waiting to see a 10 series owner grab some ZE40s in that blue they have.
