    In those photos the color is "a couple weeks of brake dust" lol. When clean I think the name of the color on these is Steel Gray
  2. Kazuo_WFC 2025 Civic Type R build

    Dos preguntas... 1. Are these the "smoked" or "clear" lens version? 2. Regarding your comments on beam pattern - Any idea if these are JDM or EU? Just thinking about the horizon beam pattern cut for LHD vs RHD market

    Post wash. It's amazing how a ceramic coating and top coat make cleaning the car stupid easy, especially the drying process.
  10. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    Completed a full paint decontamination, 1 step cut, and application of CQuartz 3.0 and Gliss 2.0. The ceramic coat and top coat added a bunch of gloss/depth to the car. I feel better knowing there is some protection on the paint now. Will get in for front bumper PPF in the next month. Also...
