Foosh,
I just spoke with a former associate who currently owns and operates a local detailing shop in our area. If you are interested, he currently handles XPEL and will be taking on Opti Pro within the next couple of months as soon as he has the cleanroom (sterile environment required) set up.
Thanks. I already have XPEL installed, but may jump on the Opti Pro based upon the rave reviews it seems to receive on this forum.

I am getting GTechniq EXO. Probably not as good as Optipro but it's reasonably priced. Can't find anyone who does Opti Pro or Ceramic Pro without overcharging you here.
Yes, it is. She's here all the time when she's suffering from "where is it" anxiety, but finally has it and no longer has any use for the forum. I'm sure she'll be back when she wants some advice or has a question.

I'm thinking it's probably a good thing she's not participating on the forum. It would be downright dangerous...You know darn well she's out driving around right now.

The logs say she is online right now browsing the forum. She was reading the Zaino post. She must be doing a social experiment on us.
Boy, you guys are a tough group. I had to go to DC unexpectedly on business so had to leave my car behind and no time for pictures.
Foosh: my feelings are hurt. I would never use the forum only when it suited my purpose. This forum really was great during my 4 months waiting for the car and because of the forum I already knew most issues with the car (good and bad) even before I received it.
The pictures really show the shine from the Ceramic Pro coating I think.
OK, now for the pictures! Honestly, after seeing rjkasprzak's pictures of his IRR R I was tempted to just state "OK, my car looks like that except for the wheels". Those are beautiful shots. I am not a great photographer (except of wild animals for some reason) and used my IPhone. I created an album under my login so if the photos do not show up here you can view the album.

That's a beautiful car! Now I'm having second thoughts about the British Racing Green. I'm concerned it's too dark and requires direct sunlight to see the green.
Gorgeous - DUH - and CONGRATULATIONS! (Love your wheels, literally and figuratively; and nice seeing something other than black..no offense of course).

Yes, I considered the BRG but thought the car needed to be red. Ian Callum thought so also as he insisted on having a red as a color choice as there was no red in my the initial list of colors for the F-Type. He ended up with two- the Salsa Red and the Italian Racing Red. I chose the IRR as I like the darker red color.

"Boy, you guys are a tough group"
Don't mean fast group?
Yes, tough and fast! I loved the wheels as soon as I saw them. The black wheels appear to be much more popular but they just do not appeal to me nor did the black pack.
I am still undecided about window tint. My detailer told me all the windows are laminated, not just the windshield and are already about 70% tint. May just get the 3M Crystalline for the IR protection but not less than 50% tint.

It is a VERY dark shade of green, which is much darker than I remember BRG on English cars back in the day. It looks black in many photographs.
I LOVE the car. I go out and drive just to be driving. It handles so well it is a joy to drive. So much more fun than my BMW!
Well, my feelings are hurt. You come to DC, and my office is right on the National Mall, and you don't call, you don't write . . .
Glad the car is living up to your expectations. I've never regretted my Polar White decision, but after seeing a number of IRR cars here recently, I'm lusting after that color. However, I do think it is a better coupe color, and I have to have a convertible.
Beautiful car. I was torn between Salsa and IRR. Ended up with Salsa but at times like this makes me wonder.
Great wheels. I know what you mean about driving just to be driving. Any excuse I can come up with works!

What I was hoping for was the real BRG you are referencing. The offered BRG can even look black in person n a cloudy day. As I mentioned before, the color only pops in direct sunlight. I may have to reconsider after seeing Lovemonet's automobile.

If I were to order a coupe now, it would either be Firesand or IRR.
