Did you consider the Jag Ftype R? I personally think that is its main competitor, but no question the GTS is better overall.
Yes I have looked at it, but never seriously consider it, even after they added AWD to address its oversteer problem.
While a nice looking car, I personally think it looks disproportionally "tall", not as great as many other people think.

Default Just had my entire car wrapped with XPel Ultimate+ paint protection film ...

Took a few new pictures with the wrap, you can't tell if it was wrapped lol ...

Nice! My whole front end is wrapped too. Whole car is the way to go with a fun car like that.

Washing is also more carefree with the entire car wrapped with the self-healing film, I don’t have to worry about swirl marks

Totally agreed!

Have you ever done a ceramic coating? I'd recommend you coat it with a ceramic coating also...

With the film you won't need to do any prep, I did it myself on the LS. I used 22ple HPC coating, very easy and the water sheeting and beading is insane.

I agree, my GTR is black and I had the front half wrapped when I got it and after a few months I had the rest of the car wrapped. So much easier to maintain and you can't even tell it is there.

Yes, but not on this new film yet. The installer applied some Meguiar’s NXT on it and it looks good. I will probably do the ceramic coating a little later.
