Great car collection! And looks like the M4 has got everything. The only issue for me would be the maintenance involved in keeping the frozen paint intact. But if you're prepared to PPF the entire car then I guess that aspect is covered as well.

Funny how I was just going to ask the question to the group about paint care for the frozen paint.
Is PPF what is done to assure long lasting durability?
Never had matte paint before.

I considered Frozen PB for my inbound G82 but was warned off it as apparently it's very difficult to rectify stone chips and lights scratches, much more difficult than on a car with "normal" paint.

As a result I ordered TBII, as I live near two rock quarries that I drive past regularly, so I do get stone chips and therefore frozen paint is probably not wise for me!

Most people here don't track the cars much if at all and several have CCBs. They will tell you it is because there really isn't any brake dust. I don't know of anyone saying they are squealing...yet. Then there is the cost to replace if that becomes necessary be prepared to pay some big money. The rotors and pads are over $14,000 USD which is $285,000 pesos.

I didn't order CCBs mostly over concerns that they may squeal because they aren't warmed up and may not stop as well as the steel brakes because of that. In the recent Carwow M4CX vs Tuned M4CX video, the tuned car has steel brakes and it stopped almost at the same distance from 100 MPH. The CCBs will be great from repeated heavy braking which is not something I'll be doing. If I track the car once or twice and smoke the brakes so be it, the maintenance plan should take care of that.

But I do hate brake dust on wheels. So there's that.

With values increasing and with car enthusiasts recognizing the iconic status of the Countach, it may be the only way to own one.
Blessed to be one of the 3000 owners(give or take)

Btw, PV is on my list of places to visit as soon as this covid nightmare is somewhat under control. Hopefully this year.
Though Vallarta is not immune from the pandemic, tourism is at full force. I am in the resort business and thank goodness we are way above normal.
Nothing beats 80 Degree weather everyday without a cloud in the sky. Of course, when everyone is enjoying their perfect summer, we are swimming in humidity and heat. But for now, its high season until June.
Any deals on vacations next week lol? The specs look good and love the color.
