Best explanation I have seen. I ended up getting a set of used Graphite Wheels for winter use, but it would have been smarter and maybe cheaper if I just got the base wheels on the car then ordered bronze as a 2nd set later.
Is the bronze center cap for 5bw a new option for 23? Don't remember seeing that for 22. It adds some package that includes black lug nuts and increases the price by 1k (!) but the summary does not show what package this is.

Debadged and went monochrome front/rear. Maybe still not a sleeper with the color and plate, but I like the clean look.
I got this one. It is huge, but sturdy. I like the clear back cover so you can see the original fob color. Couldn't find anything better for a manual remote as all the silicone covers are for auto ones.

Does not seem to be - the parts database actually doesn't have the BW listed as compatible, but I just put in the 4 screws myself while I wait for the other 4 and they definitely fit. Uses a torx bit.
Turns out my rock shields were not missing, just some miscommunication between the folks working on my car at the detailer. But will need to get those rear fasteners. Had a friend check his 5BW and his fasteners were also missing. Probably something everyone should check for given how common...
It was also missing clips on one of the rocker moldings on delivery, but I was able to get those to the detailer prior to wrapping. Definitely strange to have all these things missing.
Can't say I wasn't warned. Had an unbuffed spot on the roof on delivery (dealer didn't detail per my request) that came out, but also un-level paint (like a divet) on hood edge and 4 little black or white dots in the paint beneath the clear. Nothing that I will bother fixing and the detailer...
Booked Feb 15 & 16 with @alexf718. Would have preferred dates later in the year, but he waited for me to get my car so we can book together, and now that he is almost at the year mark, they are hesitant to let him book past March, so if you are coming up on a year - don't wait to book.
Considered them as well and decided against messing with airflow. Stinger seems to be a solution that is the most compact but it is pricy and seems complex.
One other thing I am considering if I go all seasons is keeping a set of autosock in the car for insurance in case I ever get stuck in unexpected snow:

Which Winter
Which winter tires are you going with?
I am also in the same boat. Was debating using my Lotus Evora 400 in the winter, as there are actual dedicated factory winter tires for it you can get, but that is not a practical solution. I ended up buying the extended warranty and tire &...
