Full Frontal......
Just dropped her off at the PPF place. (I forgot to get a photo!)
CPO came with a partial frontal but parts on the bumper were peeling up at the corners. Had an appointment months ago to get the entire front done - they're generally booking 4 weeks+ out. Three days before I was supposed to drop her off they called to let me know they were suspending operations due to Covid restrictions.
I've been trying to be super careful taking care of her since then, not wanting to damage the paint. Hand washes, microfiber drying.... Looking forward to getting her back already!

Not today but last weekend. Washed the car with purified water from the water store, It was cheap ($4 for ten gallons) and I can't argue with the results, just took FOREVER. I used a harbor freight 1.5 galsprayer and a handheld .5 gal pump sprayer modified to spray foam.
P.S. I need to wash it again, I know, I saw those water spots too 😂 , I am planning on doing a paint correction, polish and ceramic. Cant drive the car due to the fuel pump recall, and Lexus gave me a loaner, so figured I might as well fix everything I can right now

Fixed curb rash on my rims by having the wheels powder coated. Color isn't exact match but pretty close to original f-sport dark graphite. Excuse the dirty paint and tires, full proper detail is next on the list.

Little teaser. Picked up a set of 20” Work zeast wheels my buddy had laying around. Decided to mount one of the rears before work to see how they look, Its going take a little work to make these fit right! I’m aware the stance look is not everyone’s cup of tea but oh well. Don’t mind the dent, I got hit in nyc. everything will be fixed once I have my fenders rolled and front end resprayed! Still have to install my rear camber kit I picked up from josh@meraki. Anyone know where I can find a camber kit for the fronts (awd) ? Still debating if I want to go with BC coils or air? Currently on super downs springs...

Just picked her up from having the partial PPF removed and the full frontal PPF applied. They threw in a ceramic coat since I was willing to be patient as they were getting everyone rebooked.
Look! No more lines
So far pretty happy with it - there are a couple spots that have to basically "cook" out they said and if not they provide a life time warranty. They did the full hood, full front fenders, bumper, head lights, mirrors, the door handle cups and I had them do door edges for now. Had them leave off the rear bumper lip that's usually included in the package since I have the Lexus OEM one that seems fine. I figured it was easier to have the door edges removed later than to try to fix chipped paint and have them put on. We'll see. I know they'll show lines when she's dirty but with all the rain here there all all kinds of other weird areas that collect road spray I don't think it'll be that bad.
