I'm not regretting Mythos black with black interior one bit! Looks so great. Definitely getting the ceramic to help make maintenance a breeze. The tint is absolutely necessary though...they just don't look quite right without it.
Let me know when you do this and also what product the shop used!

Go here, it will give you some insight in terms of costs and the options.

I did it to my Allroad (Sepang Blue) and it does work. I will have it done to my S5 (daytona gray). I went with Getechniq crystal serum professionally applied. ~$1.2K.

The tint is with Llamar Pinnacle Series. Did 30%. Also did the front windshield to give UV protection. It says 80% but looks pretty clear to me. Definitely don't go through the dealer for tints. Mine quoted me *double* what my shop charged...and turns out it's the actual shop my dealer uses. There was a sold red S5 Sportback getting prepped there for a customer when I pulled in.

Still researching the ceramic. Have the number for his Ceramic Pro Canada contact and also have a high end shop near me called Elegant Motoring which is a certified shop. Going to talk to him about options as well.

Beautiful car. Would like to learn more about ceramic treatment. What does it do? Is it just for racing or every day driving?

That doesn't seem unreasonable. I'm curious, how does it hold up against road grit and other standard winter conditions (like deicer)? Does it protect well against chips due to small pebbles, or do they leave marks?

I'm considering either a quality film protector (professionally installed, of course) or a ceramic treatment like this for my next car. Thanks!

Great looking ride!

I had my Mythos treated with Crystal Serum Pro a week ago and just washed it for the first time. It wasn't that dirty but I can tell the coating will make keeping it clean much much easier.

Was debating between wrapping the mirrors and just getting the carbon fibre caps. Decided on the caps today. Easy enough install and looks much better than the chrome caps IMO. Matches the carbon inlay nicely.
