What are you using to get the knock your eyes out gloss?
What if you already have a ceramic coating?This right here. Itās amazing stuff. Available all around but I got mine at Auto Zone.
My car had under 200 miles on it so it didnāt need any correction but youād want to make sure of that first.
Now youāve got me there; Iām really not sure.What if you already have a ceramic coating?
You know, I donāt put that fine a point on it myself. It was available in stock 30 minutes from my house at the exact moment the trade bug hit me and I got a fair deal on it, so bam! Like I said, I liked it OK and after seeing it really popping all shined up I do pretty much love it. But I could probably live with most any color except MP. That oneās a non starter for me.Is going from "liking" to "loving" considered "going full circle"?
In any case, I certainly neither love nor hate it. Among boring, achromatic colors, I like it more than most... but it's still nothing more than a boring, achromatic color to me, and I would never order it. I get the appeal, though, especially in a car named after a fighter plane, in a trim named after going the speed of sound.
Just curious - I don't ever thing about my M1 getting stolen. More worried about idiots hitting it driving. Am I missing something?So I told my wife that if the EG get stolen or totaled, Iāll replace it with a second-hand FJG. So I am happy that 50% of the second-hand market will be FJG!
Thatās kinda how I see this playing out.TLDR; yes FJG is rare on the road, and the masses love the color. It is THE iconic color of this generation of Mach 1's. Enjoy!
I can testify that FJG and Rapid Red look even better sitting beside each other in the garage!I had big expectations for FJG when I saw the pics online. When I finally saw it in a showroom I was deflated big time. But, when I looked at another one inside (drove 90 miles to see it) with slightly different lighting I warmed up to it. Pulled the trigger for FJG in April 2021 and have never regretted it. It looks different depending on the natural lighting. I like it in direct sunlight but it also looks pretty cool in the shade. What made me stay with my first choice of FJG and not opt for one of the other colors was the 1) Its the special edition color and 2) Ruby Red wasn't available. Not sure how the stripes would have looked on RR, but it is by far my second most favorite color.
My European roots. You chances of getting robbed and carjacked are much higher there. But here in Atlanta, the risk is more about getting shot or rear ended, I guess.Just curious - I don't ever thing about my M1 getting stolen. More worried about idiots hitting it driving. Am I missing something?
