They arrived! Pretty cool actually. Paint matches well, functioning doors, hood, hatch....def recommended. I’ll try to get a shot tomorrow in the sunlight with my R.

Now it's time to see if you can find 18" wheel/tire combo to replace the OEM rubberband 20s.

The replica looks really nice to put on display someplace sacred in the house.

Is it on a stand? What are the approximate dimensions? Thanks

nope, not on a stand, it simply came bubble wrapped without any retail packaging. Dimensions listed on the listing are 5.9" x 2.4" x 2.0” and it looks about right. Another pic taken in the daylight next to a can for a size reference...

Yes, thanks! I will make sure that it can be removed with utmost of care. I'm pretty meticulous and anal about stuff like this. I wonder if I can go back to dealership and complain to them that their "advertising" label caused damage to my vehicle, if it will ever come to that. I think the license plate advertising should have been good enough and those stickers are primarily overkill in my opinion.

I went out for a Happy Lemon Boba Tea tonight with my son and he was so stoked about the car. He had so many curious questions to ask about the manual transmission. He wanted to go to McDonald's but I resisted and told him more practice is needed before trying to navigate through a drive-thru to avoid any scratches in tight places. ?

When you go for the first service, just have them take it off.

I took the sticker off myself It was one of those raised rubber logo stickers that easily came off.

? lighting, I am a bad photographer, but it's mine.

Love love love the color

Thanks to y'all for convincing me on sgp

I went to have my windows tinted on my SGP. Picking it up within the hour. Went with 35% all around with 70% up in the front windshield. Vortex Ceramic IR. I hope it turns out nice- but I forgot to take before pictures for comparison-

I just the R tinted and it it came out great.

I was too excited to get back home that I hit the damn street corner and incured my first battle scar. ???

Luckily I opted for that wheel insurance.

Oops. It happens when u least expect it. Picked up the same insurance from the same shop that did my tint and ppf. Bundled deal. Haven't used it yet. Probably just jinxed myself.

That was a notorious death corner and after all the years of living in this neighborhood I should have known better and took The turn a little bit wider than usual. Damn I hate that corner!! ?

Have any of you had a situation where you were waiting for the FedEx driver to deliver your stuff and then you get an email notification that says it was already signed off and delivered yet it was not? I had to flag down the damn FedEx driver and ask him WTF happened to my trunk mats and told him that he delivered my stuff at the wrong unit but then later found out the guy has this method where he pre-scans the packages before delivery. He said that his method gives you a heads up to get to the door after an email notification is sent and then pick up the item right when he gets there instead of him scanning, leaving it then driving away. Am I missing something here?

Might work for him but that's stupid because the email indicates someone else signed off for it but it was actually the driver who did it. What if I was out from the house for a few hours how is that going to work??? ?‍

I'm thinkin' 3 more of these cool yellow wheels?

 

[MrTuckers]

Same car, same wheels, same state?

At least my wheels are a different color lol

Yes indeed they look great on this color. Are they easy to clean? I was leaning towards Gun Metal Blue II but I think I like these mat black finishes better. Makes the wheels stand-out.
