You never know what you're going to find on I-45!!! Or downtown Houton where homeless people have been known to throw rocks at random cars in the morning. Thankfully, I have avoided that so far, but it happened to a coworker...

I have a Black Raven 4BW, and while I don't have the defects that you show, someone clearly went nuts on it with an orbital or something and had no clue what they were doing as the paint is badly swirled. I got some of them out myself with a DA and swirl remover, but there are many remaining...

Same message -- after a panic attack, noted the recommended pressures!

I elected to do the swirl removal myself this weekend. Told the dealer I didn’t want the same guy that caused the damage trying to fix it. I was afraid I would have no clear coat left. At least with my many hours of sweat, I know it will be done right.

That's a good question. The answer is a resounding "I'm not sure". I definitely would have had them fix the trunk, because there is a 2" superficial scratch on it. The rest of it I can probably do with my dual-action and some polish at home. It's just going to take me several hours...

Hey there team Blackwing -- just wanted to express my gratitude to those active on this board. This is one of the most helpful car communities that I have experienced - and have been around a couple including 3000GT community (waaaay back in the day) and the S2000 boards (also some...

Not a direct answer to your question, but some advice. If you decide on the black, make sure you inspect every panel with a high powered light prior to inking the deal. My 4BW in Black Raven has swirled paint, especially on the trunk, and I didn't notice it until I cleaned it myself and got it...

Agreed. I know I didn't swirl it -- I use good stuff. Also had a 3" scratch on the trunk lid (which is the most swirled panel) from the dealer. When I get a flashlight out, it looks like someone cleaned the car with a Brillo pad. Not happy -- got an email to the dealer last night. We'll see...

I have a Black Raven 4BW and have noticed some awful swirling now that I have washed it a couple times and been up close and personal. And to think I had to pay for the privilege of the dealer detailing and ceramic coating the car! They did a crappy job. I have contacted the dealership to see...

2015 Lexus GS350. This was a nice car, but was not something that I'd call "fun to drive". I've previously had "fun cars" that I could break out on the weekends, but garage space is limited with a house full of teens. Instead decided to get something fun I could drive every day -- enter the...

You are most welcome. It’s one of those things that I wouldn’t want to do again.

If you push the mirror way down you can free up enough space to get to the tabs.

You can get your finger in there and actuate the tab. You are close. You can do it!!!!

I got one side out really easily fortunately. After that I could see how the tabs were arranged and got the other side out. A bit of a delicate operation. Sorry I didn’t take pics along the way!!

Pics of my mount 😎

I have the Sto n Sho as well -- it's a good, solid mount made specifically for the CT4-V Blackwing. I will probably throw the plate in the trunk unless pulled over though. It just looks so much better without (duh). I had a Sto n Sho for my Lexus GS350 too, and it required you to drill holes...
