The car is still very new to me, so I'm still very obsessed. (I take an unhealthy number of pictures; I promise I will try to not share too many)

i wish i could keep both; but i do have to remain married.

I wish. She flat out refused to ever drive the 4BW. I don't think she ever even sat in the drivers seat. Its the old and the new. 2022 4BW to 2026 5BW. #SaveTheManuals

Does this count?

Did you coat it yourself? I've done wheels in the past and I think I'm pretty clear on the process to "do it rightish" on the paint, but will remain pretty uncertain until I do it at least once.

When I called to talk them, I was told I had to play this email game to get a seat.

Via email is essentially a lottery. I agree, its very unprofessional. If they believe the random nature of a lotto like system is the most equitable, they should communicate it as such. Even just setting expectations would be helpful, however not ideal - "You will likely not get a spot on...

That was the process I tried to do, but in the sun it was drying SO FAST, it was a losing battle. I am looking into putting on a ceramic coat. I've do rims in the past, but not an entire car. The paint correction part is intimidating.

I actually just scheduled an estimate to get one installed. But my understanding is a water softener replaces calcium and magnesium with sodium. It doesn't lower the TDS.... If I get a DI system for washing, the softener doesn't extend the filter media life. Maybe sodium doesn't leave the...

I've been looking at the rear spoiler. Was removing the OE and installing the AC spoiler at all difficult?

Gave her the first bath. The black looks SO good when clean; but with the incredibly hard water we have, its a PITA to wash. I need a new washing process :-/
