First Lexus! Molten Pearl
#7
You got the color I wanted! I saw it at Westside Lexus when it first came in and the day it sold. Then three of my friends told me you got it - Kevin, Minh Chau & KJ. Check out the new FB Group -> Lexus RC Houston. We want to get a group meet going soon**
Btw, I dropped off my vehicle at Xpel Houston today. The Xpel design team is coming down to design their pattern off my guinea pig ride. I'm anxious and nervous at the same time. I'll post pics when completed.

I've been waiting about a month now to get the Xpel (and then the Opticoat) on my car, and just got a note a few days ago that the RC is being "mapped" this week for the templates. Once that is done, installers anywhere will be able to start with the application. Until then, the suggestion is for me to keep the car off of any expressways.

Thanks. I expect my detailer will alert me as well, as he is curious to see how xPel will deal with the painted surfaces on my grille, which is not the mesh version that adorns the F-Sport, and with the curve of the rocker panel just before the rear wheel wells (which I may not do anyway). Considering the shapes, his opinion is that the hood is a must, and he notes that the bulge of the front wheel wells expose a lot of painted area to stone chip damage. Doing the full front fenders, however, will add a considerable amount of cost to the job.
We shall see, as the prices will not be set until xPel is done with the mapping and creating the templates.

We were pretty sure that they could not do the vertical pieces to the left and right of the emblem, but I would think that they could do something for the large horizontal bar under the emblem. Still, this area is all black and will be easier to touch up than this very deep and rich "Infrared" paint.
