Argh... so frustrating. BUT! That lower panel can be painted, look like new and after a few weeks you can PPF it. The paint on our cars is SO fragile, and the white primer just shows right through! After getting my '21 new and putting 2000 miles on it and seeing many rock chips all over... I PPFd the entire car.Had my best trackday so far. Last trackday I for the first time managed
to keep up for a little bit with one or two cars, but today I managed
to pass two and reduce my personal best by two seconds. Track owner
(who required me to have a session with him last year when he found out
I'd never been to a car track before) came over at the end of the day and
complimented me too ("saw you caught a few cars today. Congratulations.")
Also got to be a passenger in a supercharged v6 Lotus Exige, pushing 460
HP and weighing about 1,000 kg. That thing really pushed me back in
the seat and made my Mustang GT feel really sloooow. With the driver
in addition being a lot better than me, made for a fun experience:
Much less fun was I didn't manage the fastest corner on the track during the start of my first session. Ended up skidding a cross a lot of gravel outside the track, though managed to get back on the track without braking to a stop. Was grimacing as I could hear the stones bounce of the paint for what felt like forever:
Starting to regret I did not get the car PPF-ed professionally when I got it. At the time I didn't expect I'd be tracking it, and the PPF job at 5% of the cost of the whole car felt damn expensive. Now I'm instead trying to do it myself a little bit at a time. Will be watching youtube videos on how to buff out scratches to see what I can do with the above.
