Until you wash her, John. :-)
To date, I only hand wash her using the two towel method and detail spray. I know at some point I will have to go deeper, but I’m waiting until I have those holes fixed.

Roger that, John. The film will keep her nice and shiny until you can wash her normally.
Speaking of nice and shiny, I just detailed her yesterday and used a hybrid ceramic made by McGuire. Wow. Film has a natural shine to it and that ceramic wax made it look like the paint was wet. Maintenence is easy hereafter. Just a few .spray shots and rinse.

No. MSRP is $26k. Street price was $24k. There is another thread about that and how other parts are inflated so badly.
So how is it that those spoilers will not be a theft target extraordinaire? Any thief with a Li-Ion battery Sawzall will have that off in <5 mins!

Its a closed cell foam, why would it absorb water? Anyway, the adhesive side of the foam acts as a secondary water barrier. Kinda like peel and stick...
I like your fix. Was/Is this an issue on the GT350?

Yep, @Epiphany said exactly the same thing. You are also forgetting about the wheels. These are the exposed CF ones, not the cheap ass (really expensive) black painted ones. I can't imagine what MSRP is on the exposed CF wheels are.

You can do one of two things..... Don't let it out of your sight or buy fake wheels and wing. I've already got fake wheels. The wing? I dunno, I was looking into options.

Me? Its not a daily. I wouldn't park it where I thought it would be a problem. If you had to park it for a while, the wing is easy to remove (as the owner) and you certainly could take it to the hotel room for the night if you had to.

Its not a mustang GT. Its not a daily. If one chooses to drive it as such, then as Tob predicted, there will be a wing theft soon, if it hasn't happened already. Also, there is insurance for that, but I wouldn't want to have to report that one. Rates would most certainly go up.

Is this the stuff in the fluorescent bottle? I picked some up for winter experimentation but haven't tried it yet....

Blue bottle. A little goes a long way.
