Bday gift to myself for the car today, Ktuner V2.
Finally got it installed and tried a couple tunes. More power for sure but I got a lot of learning to do.

Bought this from a member through the classifieds a day prior to my CTR showing up from the transporter and finally put it on after passing 800 miles on the odometer so I can make sure to hear the full effect of the install! Remark Spec III

Got a bit of CarPro DLUX here and some GT ExoV4 for just that purpose my friend ;)
Nice. When will we see that new set up? Also, how hard is it for a DIY for ceramic coating on wheels? I think I might be heading down the same route and doing my own ceramic coating.

If you can wax a car, you can apply ceramic coating. It’s super easy. Most important step is making sure the surface you are working with is free of any contaminants and old waxes/sealants etc. Prep work is key.

I'm getting them put on today, but it's raining and crappy outside so I may get a couple garage pics, but that'll be it for today most likely.

And exactly what @nickjohn35 said on ceramic coating, especially for wheels and brake calipers. On new wheels I just went over them with "panel wipe" which is essentially isopropyl and water mixed. Then with DLUX you just apply evenly with an applicator, wait 10 minutes, rub off with a clean MF towel. I waited about 4 hours for it to cure, then hit it with a sealant which is the same process but I didn't use any panel wipe before applying the sealant, I just wiped off the wheels again to ensure no dust had settled or anything.

Doing a car is very similar, I did mine with GTechniq ceramic products and aside from the C4 trim/plastic stuff, it was simple. Use masking tape to control where it goes but other than that, it's wipe on, wipe off. Prep is key.

Alright, I'm convinced. I'll do the coating my self. Probably going to get the C5 wheel armor and put EXO over it.
