Irradiating an Iridiam Blue Red Sport 400 - Updated with Better Pics

Recommended Posts

So a fellow Q50 forum member that bought his Red Sport 400 the same week I did mine finally brought his over to get detailed and coated. Along with the car that has his winter wheels and tires on it, he brought over his new summer wheels that are awaiting the Pilot Super Sport 4s's and some warm weather.

 

He had it through a few tunnel washes which did most of the damage to the front and rear clips but did swirl up the entire car lightly. We decided the best long-term option was to ceramic coat the summer wheels and proceed with Option 2: Premium Enhancement

 

With this he also upgraded to include 2 coats of an SiO2 based ceramic coating on both the paint and all the windows. I love how dark metallic colors really POP! and darken up increasing their depth when coated.

 

Weather today isn't great for pics so here are some preliminarily ones for now. I'll be dynomatting and soundproofing the trunk as I did mine to remove a slight low-tone noise from the exhaust upgrade. After that I hope the sun will be out for some better daytime shots.

That car looks so sick. Love the summer wheels.

I love everything in here except TSW wheels.

 

Agreed, that car will look soooooooooo much better with the summer wheels. Gorgeous color

 

Agree on the summer wheels. Wrap with some Pilots, they are really going to set off the look of the car. I'm definitely not a fan of the winter set up though. Something about the color and matt finish on this blue. I would have stayed with 19" too. It's AWD so a little extra foot print isn't going to matter and the cost....pfftt....at this point it's moot. Heck, just use the stock wheels vs buying another set. Opinions, we all have them right :)
