I also went with Stek dynomatt as a recommendation from the PPF shop that worked on my GS F. They put a sample of Xpel stealth and STEK dynomatt and the STEK preserved the original satin matte finish much better than the XPEL. The XPEL , from what I observed, altered the Matte finish too much for me

Hey everyone!

Just got my production number and I'm currently awaiting a spot in the production line. As I reviewed the options I selected I've noticed that the color of the car is shown as Frozen white and not Frozen Dark Grey as I requested.

Is this normal? Or do I need to contact the dealer to ensure it gets changed? I'm a little concerned.

This should be fine. My CA originally chose FBW on my purchase order. Most important it should show up at special
Order color once the order has been accepted. Congrats!

That doesn’t look right to me. When my order was received my exterior said “special order color”

Mine showed as Brooklyn grey metallic at first. It will change. But, just reach out to your CA to make sure. Thats what I did.

One more question, I got the carbon trim package and bucket seats. Will that include the alternative paddle shifters? I'm not a fan of the standard metal ones.

That does not look right. My car shows Brooklyn grey, however below instead of saying frozen white it says "special order color".

More pictures please. What spacers are you running for the front and rear? Can you show shots of the front and rear tire ? I'm getting the same color.

Hello everyone,
I'm not sure if this was already asked. But does anybody know if you can use a pressure washer on the frozen paint to clean it? Or when they say washing it by hand they mean I have to physically wash it by hand lol

I use a pressure washer all the time to knock dust off.

When it comes to washing, I foam cannon, then hand wash and pressure wash it clean. To dry i use plush microfiber towels, lightly, and I wash and dry them them after every dry (why risk it).

Ah ok. Doesn't seem too terrible. Does the car require a lot of washing?

For me, to the contrary. While sitting in the drivers seat looking out across the hood you can see it's dusty, but the matte/satin finish really hides the fact that it's dirty when looking at the car from the outside.

I find myself going weeks between washes and people don't know.

Very good to know! I have the same spec on order! Thanks for your input.
