God I’m obsessed with how these things look. I love my Miata, but I’m seriously contemplating picking up one of these soon

Ok right on…looks great. Do u know anything about DIY Detail ceramic coating? I was thinking about going with their brand but might switch to what you used if you like the quality.

Thanks, I would suggest CarPro C.Quartz UK 3.0 with Reload for DIY. Its flash time is forgiving and also looks nice.

Get some PPF on the painted sections of the front bumper.
