@JT2MA71 thanks man! i've looked over the entire car and have not noticed a single scratch or blemish so taking a queue from your incredible build, looking to do full ppf on the car before i start pounding on it. waiting for estimates and once i get the seat time will report back. because it's newer, the ride home definitely seemed more crisp and tight. any tips on properly bedding carbon ceramic brakes? i'll go through the manual also.

@05RollaXRS @rp2000r received an email today that the watch should be here in the next 7-10 days. nice.

dropped it off today for full detail/ppf treatment. got into it a bit on the way and can definitely feel the weight difference. i know a lot of folks say 'its just the same car' but overall it is 177lbs lighter than a 2019 and i could definitely feel that compared to the 17, it felt great. love having avs back too. can't wait to get it all dialed in and take a hard run in the hills.

got home and had this box at my door. left the plastic film on the glass... @05RollaXRS @rp2000r quality timepiece.
