what brand did you coated

Wife's M3, an off brand from Amazon, Color N Drive 9H but it was cost effective and has lasted for 3 years and 32k miles. I installed the more expensive GEON MOES EVO on my '24 M3P. Easier to apply and has worked great but I can't really say it's worth 3x the cost. Time will tell. I have a buget brand FORETOO that gets good reviews ready to go on my son's 2017 VW Golf after I finish with paint correction next week.

I'm not partial to any brand as long as it meets my budget goal and has good reviews. For the CT I'll be going with Pan's 8yr ceramic coat. The key to a long lasting ceramic coat is the prep work. The CT will be unlike anything else so I'm looking forward following the Out of Spec advice.

On the fence with PPF. Just not sure I can narrow down my color and of course the cost is high. If I stayed stainless I’d definitely do ceramic coating. My understanding is you can’t ppf if you do the ceramic coating. I’m sure that’s for a time period or have it removed.

I bought this on eBay and am going to try installing it.

Well, shoot. Now you have me googling DIY tint. I saw some good feedback and comments on one of the sponsors, @TWRAPS:

We see a high success rate on the CT tints (DIY) as the windows are very flat. Basically - follow the video, use plenty of soapy water, take your time and as long as you do it in a clean environment - you save yourself $$$ from a pro install shop. The tint itself is as good as tint can be in 2026 - premium nano ceramic tint.

Has anyone here bought it yet?

Have this mat for almost 2 years now. Love it, just hose it off when dirty. It's basically a plastic carpet. Holds things in place

You sure know how to blow the $10K savings... If you ceramic coat prior to PPF, the PPF wont stick, ceramic coat will need to be removed.

Well, and just like that, I got a text to start complete the next steps. I have a freeze on all my 3 of the credit bureaus. Unfreezing them now. Yikes. Delivery was June 30 thru Aug 11 and then this morning it went to 2027. 02:10 pm, I have a VIN assigned. WTH Tesla. Did you hear me cussing?

I look at it as 20k savings from the PAWD. Not to mention many of these things I would add had I bought that one. . After the PPF if this happens, I’m done, gotta let the wallet heal.

Congrats! The AI bot can’t keep up. From what I’ve read once a VIN is assigned the truck has been scanned and on its way to the SC so shouldn’t be long know.

Here are the Bridgestone Dueler's 295 70/R18, with Atomic Wheels AW09 18x9" with a +40 offset. They have a tiny little poke but it looks great and no issues turning the wheel fully.

looking good - me like it a bit hard to clean I guess . pls post link to them + the tires.
where is the "B" made ?

No problem. I just updated my initial post with links to both. I REALLY love the look of them and the ride is fantastic. I save about 16#'s per wheel by using the AW since its cast forged but gain back more weight with the Bridgestone vs the factory Goodyear. Total weight savings is about 6#'s total between the factory setup and the new AW + Bridgestone setup.

They tossed in free ceramic coating so should help with cleaning.

The hard to clean comment must come from the OCD in us. but definitely looks awesome.

Found this J1772 adapter door dock it works well and just saw Tesla is charging $30 for it. Can’t think it’s any better. Or just find the 3D printer file.
