Right… Kamikaze Stance for wheels is good too.

(I'm for sure paying to have the PPF done)

Sweet. Let us know what product you choose and how the application goes. If mine really does get delivered in November, I'll have a few months' time to do some detailing

I have some Q2 left over but it's probably not enough to do an entire car.

Mine might not get delivered before November either

Don't they say once it's opened it's only good for a month?

Yes… screenshot below from Esoteric. That means I need to throw away the Kamikaze Stance 2.0 that I used to coat the new BMW 18” style 37 M Parallels that I coated last year.

Oh, haha, well there goes that idea

Yeah, I'm still waiting on an allocation. Mine will be a 2023 and the first round of MY23 allocations just came out. Production starts next month. At the earliest I suppose I could have it by October but I'm trying not to get any hopes up

I am guessing you will receive it 6-8 weeks after production so long as something does not happen, i.e., a Covid spike or some other BS. The most common problem these days is getting it shipped from the VPC to your Center. Per BMW there is a lack of truck drivers.

At least it's only a 4 hour drive to my center from Galveston once it's on a truck (assuming that's where it'll ship to)

It should be off loaded in Galveston. The first stop from Plant Mexico too.
