Default What I've Noticed in the First Two Weeks...

ClearBra is a must. Put mine on myself before driving to North Carolina and back... would have hit a lot of debris.

The break-in period is a PITA. I couldn't keep under 4k rpm.

The blind spot is no joke. I am not even sure why there is a window aft of the b-pillar!

I have yet to scrape anything on the front end... even with the chin spoiler.

27% Tint is not nearly as dark as I thought it would be.

The car is much wider and sexier looking from the back than pictures can express.

I am 100% confident the shift knob can be removed without damage. I heated mine up with a hair drier for only about 30 seconds, but still caused some damage because I used a channel lock. (expecting to ruin it from what I've read). Turns out, the thing rotated with very little effort... Probably could have done it by hand? (I have strong forearms )

15mm wheel spacers are definitely enough for me. Lines up perfectly I think, even has a little lip of rubber hiding over the edge.

The Eibach springs... wow. looked at the front and couldn't even compress the spring. Can I just take these springs to a shop and have them installed? Pep Boys? I dunno...
