Picked her up last month for my recent graduation. Went with the RX since I already purchased a 17' GTI in December as a daily/racecar . Here's some pics of it after it was coated with the Ceramic Pro Silver Package (5 Years).
Itching to get those F-Sport Wheels!
Very nice, thanks for the pics.
Before I went to purchase the car, I looked through a few youtube videos and found a very thorough review from Brock Frady in which he pointed out that the Atomic Silver color is the best color that shows the contour lines that flow along the side and the flowing roof line.
When I went to the dealership to test drive the car, they must have at least over 50 new 2017 RX 350 there but surprisingly there were no atomic silver on the lot.
I didn't like the shade of red for the 4th gen RX, the black color didn't show the flowing roof line well, and I found a bit too much of a contrast between the black grille and ultra white
paint, so I bit the bullet and purchase the Atomic Silver color even though I haven't actually seen it close up yet.
The only thing I'm a bit disappointed about is the black side view mirror, not same color as the body, they said that it's unique for F sport model, I just hope I'll get use to it.
What was even more surprising is that my dealership could not find an Atomic Silver color with black interior in the F sport model in any other dealership so they had to order from factory and they said it would take about a month. After 3 weeks has gone by, I called in and they just told me that it's not at least for another 3 weeks, they've been informed that it's scheduled for Production at end of June!
Looking at these pics helped me to be reassured that I made the right choice and it's worth the wait.
if you don't like the black mirrors, you could have them painted your body color...or, get these chrome mirror caps from eBay.

If you can't use to it, you can easily get the mirrors painted or see if anyone on this forum (with an Atomic Silver RX) will trade you or buy painted mirror caps to replace them ($100-150/each). It's easily swappable.

Looks good, thanks for sharing the pics.
I've never done cerimic coating on any of my cars, is it really worth it?

Thanks, I actually was thinking about asking the dealership if how much would they charge to change it to one with the same color as the body. But then I thought I'll just use the car for a few months and see if it bothers me.

This is my first car that I've done Ceramic Coating on so I can't really speak for if it is completely worth it or not yet.
So far though, the gloss and resistance to dust is certainly noticeable. Got it applied around middle of May and am not supposed to wash the car for at least a month..

Can someone share pics on what it actually looks like installed? Be interested to see how it looks.

Interesting. Went for the Opti-coat plus option (@Supreme Detailworks) and they told me I cannot wash it for a week. They added that by a month's time, the coating is fully hardened. Best money spent! Love the cleaning process of washing it with a sponge and wiping down with microfiber (

I have considered it but this is why I have yet to do it, I really don't think I would be able to go a few days (I'm not kidding) no less a month without washing my cars..
