430 Done! Lowered, Wheels, Exhaust, Paint correction, Ceramic, Leatherique

Well, at 90% I guess, still want to do headers, brakes and a few other small things .
Sold my 355 earlier this year and bought this 430, it needed a few things along with simply needing to be made "mine".
I've DIYed:
Redone the headliner,
Removed all the clear bra and replaced the factory High wear PPF
Restored all leather with letherique
Replaced dash vents with the billet ones
Has Stratos 70% film to windshield to protect leather (not diy)
Full paint correction with SystemX ceramic
Installed Kline Exhaust
Installed 19/20 BCforged wheels
lowered 18 turns front and 15 turns rear
Preformed alignment

I couldn't be happier with the results

Most of the progress has been documented on my yt channel, check it out if you're interested

I do, but visually a camera could not pick up the difference. They weren't really dirty, but they were slightly stiff. I did the leatherique stuff for a week, made it super soft. It feels brand new now

 

oh, I did all the sticky as well from stickyRX

BTW, OEMs wheels weigh 27.6F/30.2R the new BCforged are 20.4F/23.6R. Each wheel took 1oz or less to balance....amazing IMO

 

Occasionally, likely in the fall when's it's not so hot.

 

I really like the BBS wheels that they make for these but they're two big problems with them.
One, BBS has the wrong offset in the rear and they require trimming or fender rolling. And two, when I stood back and just looked at the design of the car, 19s look perfect in the front, but they looked way small in the rear. Virtually every other modern sports car runs a staggered combo and I think it just looks right. The BBS wheels only come in a 1919 combo.
So my goal was to design a very similar look to the BBS, the same lightness, same strength. In a 1920 combo and I think I have achieved that in my opinion. It's all subjective obviously

Yes there is a discussion i made about running 19/20 and tire size options as to not trip any errors. No one knows the exact threshold, many guess its when you change the ratio by more than 5%.
Anyway. 235/35r19 and 305/30/r20 are the exact same ratio as the oem 225/35r19 285/35r19... so the car cannot tell the difference. However, since i already had two brand new 225s, I am doing an experiment to see if the 1% difference will throw any errors. So far no errors!
The pictured combo above its 225/35r19 and 305/30r20s
