My number 1 interest.

How has the suspension been adjusted for ride quality, noise dampening and handling with 18/19 set up.

My 18's ride perfect for me.

I drive like I should be in a 330 with M package most of the time:

Every so often; I drive like I'm testing at Nurburgring Nordschleife.

The issue is, the people that put this much care into their cars are also the ones to fuss over small scratches in the clear coat, "swirls", etc., and you just can't fix those in the same manner with matte paint.
Gotcha! For me every paint I can't wash on a gas station is high maintenance.

Not a fan of the "frozen" satin finish, however the gloss light colours such as the light grey, yellow, white really seem to suit the G80 imo.

It's funny because that's kind of become the "norm" in detailing, but yes it's a lot either in time or money.

For those who are debating the cost I would actually recommend doing something like XPEL Stealth. Two birds with one stone because you're getting the protection and getting your paint to go matte. For $3500 you should be able to get a full package (ppf/coating) so just an option if anyone considers that.
