I love the ceramic coat. Makes washing a dream. I use Dr. Beasly. but I just bought some Chemical Guys and a foam cannon, so you can guess my plans for the week.
I bought from Carmax and the only issue had with them was buying in VA and they were in MD. Even though they were 20 miles away...
So I can weigh in on a few things in this chain.
1) Makes sure to check the lip of the trunk. Several phantom owners have reported issues with it. Mine was indeed cracking and Toyota repainted the trunk for me free of charge.
2) Carmax usually removes any PPF. That is what happened with...
It is good to see this positive info on Visconti. My tune is arriving today and I am hoping to get it knocked out this weekend.... not sure if I need a bench unlock or not yet.
Dammit B58, I'm an accountant, not an electrician!
Plugs into the lighters and I spent like.... 5 minutes hiding the wires. If I decide to keep it, I'll hide the wires better and look at getting it hard-wired.
I'm soooooooooooooooo going to get in trouble.
In VA, I believe it is illegal to drive with colored interior on in the cabin.
Oddly enough it is legal in DC and MD and PA. If anyone living in these states knows differently, please let me know!
Anyway, for $30, free with Amazon points, 10...
New badge install....and I made a little red friend.
Hang on back there!
Still waiting on the red maxton front lip .... and I ordered louvers. They should arrive by Memorial Day.

This one here....
If I got a stupid offer for the phantom, I'd do something like this plus ....
Wheels - Black gloss (so i can pay to have them touched up every year, LOL)
I'd black out the rear like I've done with...
Phantom owner, so I am biased. Pain in the ass to keep clean and EVERY SPOT SHOWS UP.
But ...yeah .... It breaks necks for a living.
If I had no phantom option...
Nocturnal.
I've seen it murdered out...and damn the black supra looks so amazing, it's made me re-think my choice.
Absolute...
Good afternoon!
I am considering getting my stock rims powder coated. Does anyone have any suggestions for good prices and work in the Arlington / Falls Church / NoVa region? Anyone mind sharing what they paid so I don't get ripped off?
:P
Thanks!
Two points on this ....
1) Of course I would never have let the dealer drill holes. I purchased this used. So it had holes from the Toyota dealer (original owner) and additional holes (Carmax). That led to this being larger than normal.
2) Phantom paint. My understanding is that the entire...
Roman and Andrew...
Thank you for you thoughts ... I can understand both. I really didn't want my plate there and
wasn't expecting a $1500 bill for such a small cosmetic change. I am sure that I will get the
whole thing done in the future, but for the time being, this will work.
If anyone...
I think I am going to leave the plugs in. For the OCD crowd, it might be too much, but the cost to fix was quoted at $1100 + the cost to reapply PPF + 2x ceramic coat.
The fit isn't bad. The plugs themselves are very tight-fitting after using the correct drill bit. And the fitment even on the...
I finished removing the reflectors from the rear quarter and the rear bumper. Quarters have been replaced with IND color matched and rear bumper with Acexxon black matte. After moving the license plate to the tow hook, I realized I had five holes in my bumper. Ordered BumperPlugs and had the...
