Default Incredible!

The Body Color Vents look incredible in LBR. Enjoy!

DROP. DEAD. GORGEOUS.

If that color truly had maroon in it as some perceive it does (to my eyes it doesn't), I'd run. A Dark Candy Apple Red as somebody stated is probably a good description...and it really lights up when the sun hits it. This color is so RICH in complexity!

Doc, that is spectacular. Might I inquire which sealant you used on the car- which ones you considered and why you chose as you did?
FWIW, I'm looking into both C Quartz Finest and Cilajet (the latter is more expensive, but longer-lasting). Thank you in advance!

Hey Rooster-

Black badging on LBR-great minds think alike!

Do you have a pic with the tint installed? Thinking of doing the same. One without a lot of sun reflection would be excellent.

Tx!

Here are a few. 15% ceramic rear and quarters, 30% drivers and passengers.

For any LBR owner, who was curious what the color looks like after driving through a snowstorm...

Actually it is nice to see this as it shows the pattern of where the dirt is most likely to accumulate.
It was in the 60's here today so I got out and washed mine. I noticed that my license plate had a large number of tiny black spots. In my experience these become a headache when left too long, then only a clay bar works to get them off.
