Lol I was looking at coats and decided on opticoat as well, hope it turns out as good as I am expecting.

Would also be great if you could let us know how well opticoat for the interior is! I was looking at it but didn't think I would need, unless it actually prevented leather creasing, in which case I will get it after haha

I've got enform on mine so definitely MY14 haha, but I feel it is limited compared to the Americans. Basically only has petrol station finder, concierge service, and let's you send destination from your phone straight to the car which is not bad. Would be interesting to see if the MY15 has newer stuff though!

Still loving the car, done 3000 kms this month alone and cornering is such a joy =D

There will be quads but most probably a custom Magnaflow, the TRD was expensive as hell & by the time you add freight on top would have been ridiculous.

My last car & my other I still have is Opticoated, well worth the money, make sure you get a stage 1 correction beforehand for best results. I haven't had the Optiguard interior before but I believe it just makes spills & marks easier to clean as well as protecting the leather from the elements etc.

I'll let you know if the enform does anymore after my training session when I pick it up next Tuesday. Pretty full on having a Japanese technician in Australia to do each 2015 personally

I've only got 460 km on mine so far

Hmm I assumed new cars wouldn't need it, I've only handwashed the car several times.. it costs an additional $400 for the correction! I might have to do a micro check if I can find a proper LED lamp and hopefully the paint is still in good condition

I looked at some of the cars in the sun on the lot when I was looking at buying & could see light swirl marks, if you can't see any swirls all good. If there are they will be trapped under the OptiCoat for good.

I'm getting a Stage 1 correction (to make sure it's perfect), OptiCoat Pro, OptiGuarded Interior & the good 3M Tint all done for $1100. That includes OptiCoating my rims inside & out & also the Brembo calipers when I get the tint done next week & before they are fitted to the car.

Starting to move along now.

I accepted the quote from the paint shop today to paint & install the TRD body kit, just need to book it in.

I also went to the exhaust shop & got a quote on a custom axle back Magnaflow exhaust with quad tips to suit the TRD rear bar. I'll work the lowered spings etc around the body kit fitment & then the wheels will go on closely followed by the Brembos

Well my tint when on last Wednesday, very happy with the job. They also OptiCoated my wheels & Brembo calipers before I install them.

Dropped the car off today for the painting & fitment of the TRD bodykit, will have it back by the end of the week

Color matching the TRD kit with the car paint is Perfect!
