I just bought a Pure Gray SE Taos with IQ.DRIVE. My wife and I love it! We needed to upgrade one of our sedans because if our toddler being in a car seat, we needed the room! Just ordered LED front turn signal bulbs for it!

Looking good! Welcome to the Pure Gray (Grey in Canada) ownership club. Mine is currently coated in salt and looks nowhere near as good as yours! Thanks for the reminder of how it will look under better weather conditions!

Looks great w/ the black wheel set

Thank you! I haven’t even washed it since I bought it on Monday (2/7/22) and I even told the salesman not to “detail” it. I’m going to ceramic coat the whole thing soon!

thank you! I just ordered LED bulbs for my front turn signals and the OEM rear seat cover! Can’t wait for the bike rack to come in as well!

Nice ride! Coming out there myself in May, look for a Platinum Gray with WI plates tooling around Phoenix! Can't wait!

Which bulbs did you order? I've been contemplating upgrading mine as well.

So are the bulbs that came with the S not LED bulbs is that why you’re changing them. If something is wrong with them why not complain to the dealer?

Nothing is wrong with them. I just want a brighter LED bulb to replace the stock OEM. The OEM ones are just halogen bulbs.

Oh, I was worried that something was wrong with them. I’m glad they are working ok.

I bought the SiriusLED ones. Here’s a link to the video I made after I installed them

Since I love the pure gray, I have to keep it in tip top shape! Going to be ceramic coating it in the next couple of weeks, just gotta find time.

I don’t mean to sound dumb but what exactly is ceramic coating?

Adds an extra layer of protection to the exterior paintwork and reduces swirl marks (which I hate) and scratches. It’s also hydrophobic and helps clean the car easier.

So is it like a hard paste that you put on the car and buff off? Is it difficult to use? I hire I’d have to go to a car detail center to get it done since I’m just over 65 may be a bit much for me.

Yeah pretty much, it’s like glass. You have to get it done professionally unless you know what you’re doing. The paint needs to be in perfect condition as well.

Ok gotcha. Thanks for helping me understand. I’ll go to a detail place to get the car done. I guess this spring.

I just checked some shoes around here and their prices were $1200.00 to $1800.00 for ceramic coating. Are those prices for real? That’s in the Trenton area of NJ.
