Yeah, same here in Texas. Every time they give me a loaner with no tint the difference is actually shocking. This time my car was dropped off 12hrs for tint or PPF so I didn't experience the fish bowl effect in this car, thankfully.

Op that is a gorgeous spec for sure!

I am with ya though, I love the frozen option for the care requirement of frozen paint would drive my OCD out the roof. Maybe one day I will go with the entire vehicle wrapped in Stealth PPF which will give me a semi-frozen look with the gloss paint.

Very nice, man. Now I see what you meant when you said you were getting a different, but similar color. Enjoy.

Very similar, like one shade lighter, but the frozen finish looks great in the sun.

It’ll be fine by then.

I made the mistake of trying to play golf yesterday. We got to the 4th hole and had enough. Cold, windy, and rainy is not any fun.

Beautiful car! Lately, most cars with MPHAS option are being fully lowered 20mm at the port. It doesn't look like they fully lowered your car or maybe you got it raised slightly after delivery.

Was installed at port, then the dealer put it on the lowest setting possible. It just doesn’t go as low as the aftermarket springs, but I think it’s perfect.

Cleaning the wheels is the worst part of bath time. They’re just a pita no matter how you cut it.
