Hey! Did you get the ceramic coating yet? I have an MP coming soon and curious how that changes the look of the paint. I see this car below and it is striking but looks wet to me and I’m not sure if it takes away the effect that the MP is supposed to have, does that make sense?

btw your delivery picture above is one of my fav MP images so far—looks great under artificial light.



Here’s the car I wonder if it has ceramic coating just based on how the light reflects off of it.

Wish there was a way to tell what number out of 150 my car is.

Lexus should have a added a # badge it would just make it extra special in my opinion.

I am trying to find where I can have one custom made.

^^ Just curious what your plate will say since you are unsure of the production number...unless you have figured it out?

Looks really good, but wish it was a little less aggressive since it extends forward a bit too much makes it more vulnerable to scraping when coming out of my driveway.

Overall looks great!!!

wow that lip really completes the look in this color. Now you have to be afraid of driveways.
