Lucky you, looks like this is going to work for you trimer!
I'm out of luck for such a nice car... Not only I would get it stolen the day after I got it, I'd also end up getting my wife's fat 4.6L gas hungry 'white' SUV as exchange. Can't let something like that happen to me, never!

My wife has a new pilot...oddly enough she could care less about Pcars and if she never drives it oh well. However she does love speed and because this is a daily she will eventually have to drive it...then I might be in trouble!

daily driver eh? I might do a clear wrap on some of those high traffic interior bits by the center console, the door pocket lids, e-brake, etc. It'll keep the interior looking that new and such a rare color is going to tough to replace on the cheap.
On the outside, definitely clear bra the front bumper and hood. Especially if you drive any backroads. I had this on my car from the factory and did not replace it when I re-sprayed the front bumper. Big mistake, my bumper looked brand new for years and within a few months of riding around with it bare I was already seeing stuff I didn't want to see.
p.s.
Try finishkare #425 polymer spray. Keeps darker colors cleaner, longer. When it rains, the water runs the dirt off the paint because of the teflony slippery finish. And I would HIGHLY recommend using the Griot's Garage green or blue towels that have the long nap and no prickly hooks like typical microfiber towels.

Car is clear bra'd! Mirrors and front up almost half hood...
Great idea on interior pieces. I will get all over that for sure!
