Default RC350 --> GS350Fsport '16 new owner

Getting my G Fsport 16 next week... first thing I am doing is getting it a clear bra since JDM paints are soft and can easily get scratched. Anyone within the DCA, MD, VA area have a store to refer that excels at these jobs? and that I can possibly get a quote? I might just attempt and order from 3M and do it myself though but

Don't live in that area but HIGHLY advise against installing it yourself. If you can't install a screen protector on your phone without bubbles, you're going to have a helluva time with the bra lol.

I'm jealous! You must post pics. when you get it. What color combo did you get?? I have to wait 2 yrs. to pay off my RX before getting an F Sport. I am just not an SUV person but love the quality of the brand.

I got the obsidian on black, already plan to get a clear bra on it due to the soft paint.

Thanks everyone!

Will upload pictures with my siblings iPhone as my finance and I are android users. (Will upload next weekend when I go get the car from the dealer and am back from work)

so I just got the car this past weekend. I thought I would be a bit remorseful when I got in it, but besides the steering wheeling not warming up as much as the RC. Everything else is great, the engine (after installing the takeda CAI), the sound quality, the space, and the visibility. Loving it! I will take some pictures this weekend after I clean off all the pollen

I would recommend Speed & Tech Motoring in VA. Rashed does top notch work. He did my 14 GS350 f sport. Just go to his FB site for pics and sample of work. 7035654508
