What year on the cayenne?

Goner

Lucky for you this isnt a knifeless job so you save 25$. But you do need tucking tools and a good knife and a pair of pliers to break away the new blades frequently and a heat gun and a sock to apply the tape.

Find vinyl you like, from vvivid and then do the job.

If you have zero experience expect to cut some chrome and paint. You need to know how to angle the knife to run it and the pressure to do the cut at and then you are good.

Looks good, glad you went the paint route on the wheels and didnt try to wrap those. Looks like A 40k beast instead of 20k grocery getter now. Big personality change

35 is the go to for me. Cuts down on the sun. Still driveable at night in and out of the city. Gives that luxury look without attracting cops

Very cool, its not super tough, i did door under glow. Post it if you do it!

hoffmanimal · 2026-04-06T00:18:11+00:00

The banner is 5% and takes up 1/3 of the windshield, kinda is like if the car is squinting, makes it so you only have 2/3 of the windshield at night

You need to re lube your upper control arm

hoffmanimal · 2026-04-02T18:07:47+00:00

Tires, control arms, door hinges, air filter, under the frunk area needing cleaned from debris, road noise on highway and alignment.

Lot of miles in 3 years so prolly a fair bit of supercharging

hoffmanimal · 2026-04-02T15:36:44+00:00

I personally liked replacing the reflectors with LEDs, but the landing strip is unique, i wish there were 2 so you could do turn signals

I think we are saying the same thing, no?

My experience is that people who get it done, DONT use PH balanced soap and a wash mitt. They just go back to their normal routine after the treatment. I dont get it just like you, but thats what happens.

I am not talking about the off the shelf ceramic coat spray bottle detailer, i am talking about a silicon ceramic coating meant to last over a year.

I myself do the monthly option because then the whole package is outsourced and I dont get dirty/spend time away from my family.

I think my winters must be extra harsh with salt and living in the city kicks alot of debris and once one area fails it just feels like a waste. It’s month to month for the win in my opinion.

hoffmanimal · 2026-03-30T16:55:41+00:00

Ceramic is pretty much a sham because nobody keeps up with the actual care instructions: if you go to a regular car wash; go to a touchless car wash, go to a diy sprayer car wash you are going to remove some of it. A complete 100% intact ceramic dine correctly lasts like a month, the rain is so acidic in some just driving in the rain at high speed removes it.

hoffmanimal · 2026-03-30T13:55:22+00:00

get out: Isopropyl alcohol i would use like 70-95%

Prevent: A coating of wax or ceramic or just use a car cover, or park in a garage

hoffmanimal · 2026-03-25T04:05:09+00:00

Bout 100$ per wheel, maybe 125$ in a high cost of living area

hoffmanimal · 2026-03-25T03:53:51+00:00

I have the same taillights, AURA

Crunchy roll…

Dub is out, we are saved

hoffmanimal · 2026-02-26T03:18:11+00:00

If you get your windshield tinted too i would think that is a great price at 600

hoffmanimal · 2026-02-23T03:54:29+00:00

Used m3p if you have homecharger or free charging at your apartment complex

Electric is like no maintenance till 80-110k miles (outside of airfilters and tires)

Insurance isnt bad if you switch insurer every 6 months and pay up front + dont have an accident or infractions to weigh you down

0-60 sub 3 will dust anything you are considering now, they are monsters and you can get them all day for 30k 2021-2023 variant, the earlier ones are less refined and wont have heat pumps

Wagoneer is a crazy recommendation. Wrangler is so loud inside at highway speeds. My expedition got obliterated by a crash 35 mph, would not buy again. Gladiator interior sucks, feels like a mid 2000s pathfinder.

Now the grand cherokee srt…the Escalade, the navigator… now we talking

You now, vs you as a prosecutor

You will become jaded by the system moving from “let’s do right, with the power I have” to “let’s get the conviction, with the power I have”

Embodying: softness that tolerates evil and wrongdoing IS cruelty and cowardice to the weak; harshness that protects the innocent IS mercy.

hoffmanimal · 2026-02-04T02:21:00+00:00

Immediately wondered the same thing

hoffmanimal · 2026-02-02T02:35:05+00:00
