First full bath since delivery (with Adam's), and front chrome cover-up. I have the vinyl for the doors, but my schedule is packed for another 2 weeks, so that will have to wait.

Tints, door trim, and NF210 get done weekend after next.

@signdetres – Thanks! I used the "charcoal-ish" colored vinyl to match the front grill and lower fascia. I have glossy black for the window trim and trunk piece so it matches the current window / door pillars. I can't wait to get the trim, springs, and tints done.

I think Lexus would tap into a big market by offering blackout (de-chrome) on their F-Sports as an option. Just like the TRD Midnight editions they do on the 4Runner... I think they'd be surprised how may F-Sports would be ordered with no chrome.

I just ordered Adams Ceramic coat kit on Amazon for $135. I've heard great things about it too. Plan on getting paint correction in the spring and applying the ceramic coat. I bought it now because I'm going to coat my new wheels.

I bought a basics kit. Shampoo, quick detailer, interior, etc. It needs a little paint correction on the bumper (don't they all), but is otherwise fairly pristine. Later this Spring, I'll do a full correction and touch up, and then seal with cQuartz... I think. I'm still learning about coatings.

Personally, wouldn't hesitate on the cQuartz. Just finished doing a paint correction topped off with the 3.0 and its been fantastic. Above and beyond my expectations really.

Inflate the spare to 60 PSI. It was dangerously low at 18 PSI.

Busted it off cleaning the inch thick sheet of ice the car was covered in. Also busted the lip corner off. Been a rough winter on it.

Drove it for the first time in a few days. Would you believe it hasn't been washed in months & has gone through a few pretty gnarly rainstorms?
