::heehee:: But farmhouse chic is a thing now. Well…from what HGTV tells me, I see the world in 1s and 0s, no design ability to speak of. 🤷🏽‍♂️

You’ll have the exclusive shots of luxury elegance juxtaposed with the country living. I think you can work it.

Must. Get. Cows! 😎👍🏽

After 5 days, I got my car back! PPF & Ceramic coating are done. The color is super rich and deep, thought I selected a filter. I want to wash it, but have to wait a week.

that looks great! Wow!

the hood bulge just pops. Gotta have that bulge. Idk why someone would get the IS350 now, it just doesn’t compare. The 350 is the new 300 lol.

I am almost at the 1/2 way mark in my break in period and while I have opened it a little, I still haven't pushed it hard but OMG, the urge is there and it sounds sooooo good already - Can't wait to have it fully broken in and more comfortable pushing it. It is funny though, as I was telling "ANSWER" on a recent phone call, I find that with such a car, it's a though I need to tame the vehicle and get used to what it can do but just gradually and responsibly getting to know the car.

Here are a few more pics for those who are considering white - Again, nothing special as I am far from being an expert photographer but just a few shots.

Thanks! No I just wanted the impact areas done, which is practically the whole dang car! 😂

Front bumper
Hood
A-Pillars
Mirrors
Front Quarter Panels
Rocker Panels
Lower Back Bumper (Area right behind the rear wheels. The tire will pepper that area with rocks and other debris)

One…I think a smart person takes the time to get to know their new car’s eccentricities and limitations. Once the mind-meld is complete, operating the car in any circumstance will be second nature.

Two…your pics are fine, especially the one with the sun in the corner!

Looks GREAT! I waited a week and a half and mine wasn't fully cured. I have to redo a small spot. Be very gentle for a while!
