Update on Long Tube Headers axle back install.

I daily this car and wanted a better, deeper tone and NO DRONE. Also wanted the black tips. Got a couple recommendations for this setup and so far its been great. Has that deep kind of flow master/magnaflow vibe to it but WITHOUT THE DRONE. Perfect. Also, around 3000 rpm it changes tone and gets kind of racecar sounding. Reminds me of Corsa up high. Install was a breeze and everything fits perfectly.

Finished what I started yesterday with detailing..the exterior black plastic trim pieces were showing some white haze. Not sure what caused that. Usually happens to exterior trim after years in sun and washes. GT has only been outside since new in august. Used chemical guys Slick Shine protectant to clean up on all exterior trim and tires.

I would wonder if its from something put on the paint getting on the trim. Maybe even by the dealer before you bought it.

I didn’t let the dealer prep it when it was delivered and it wasn’t visible when I picked it up. I’ll have to keep my eye on it. Noticed it first a couple weeks ago on the right rear and now it’s spreading!
My 06 GT lived outside for 14 years and started to fade around year 10. I wound up replacing exterior trim since the spray stuff is just a temporary solution. If it keeps showing the fade I’ll see if covered under warranty.

Finally got around to updating. It took a little over an hour. It requires the engine running to do the install so it was a good way to get some seat time in.

Gyeon Trim ceramic made the exterior plastic trims and rubbers on my 18 look nice and black. I applied it nearly 2 years ago and still going strong. https://gyeonquartz.com/product/trim/

Thanks for the reply. I’m going to try GYEON Q2M Preserve.
I have not used the Preserve but as it is an interior product it may not have much of a service life out in the elements.

Here’s what their web site says….. . In fact, GYEON Q2M Preserve can be used a car’s interior, as well as exterior, surfaces to preserve the original look those pieces had.

I used a 9H ceramic coating on my trim, exhaust tips, headlights, piano grille, wheels and all painted surfaces in spring when new and car sits outside all summer (118f and smoke ash all summer). Refreshed it with turtle wax ceramic spray and looks factory new at this point.
