Thank you.
It’s very desirable for the climate.

I know I am late asking this question but anyone know what wheels these are? I am usually not a fan of aftermarket wheels but these appear really nice. I would have loved to see a side/profile pic but they look nice!

What percentage is your tint, it looks great.

I thought these wheels looked familiar, and then, it hit me. They look exactly like Maserati Ghibli Trofeo wheels.


Interesting choice, but not bad.

Appreciate the complements.
The tinting was done by the dealership and I don’t recall the percentage. The tinting is a welcome addition in the Southwest given the degree of sunshine and heat. I believe there are parameters for the percentage of tinting based on law enforcement - legal statutes.

There was one other picture available but no side shots.

So after 1.5 months of owning BluStreak, finally found a PPF shop that didn’t give me some kind of heebeegeebees. This shop was actually a referral from one of the industry leaders…

Peaked behind the door and 10 year old Tony almost squealed in delight, but 50 year old Tony had to play it cool. You know I touched everything in there right? RIGHT?! 😂😂

Look at this recent Mecum acquisition in the shop for a PPF treatment too. My little ole Lexus will be just fine. 😜😎

Yep! Paint correction first, PPF, and ceramic. (The ceramic was included.)

Thanks for sharing Tony. The P Carrera GT is my dream car.

There was once a small window of time where I could have afforded one (with the looming risk of divorce) but now there is an open bet where I could throw the mortgage (and the kitchen sink) for the risk of taking one home.

Ah one can dream.

I'm glad I did, some small debris hit my car the other day and there are some spots on the ppf now that have some damage as well as a really tiny chip on the windshield which makes me super sad. But it's like a chip out of the windshield and not a crack so it's actually not all that visible.
