I was wondering this as well. It's a common refrain that matte paint is hard to maintain, but the biggest issue I have is swirls and love marks, which apparently matte paint doesn't show. It seems like that would be easier to maintain, although in the case of actual deeper scratches it seems you...

I actually just saw a 2023 on the showroom floor with no BW badge, so I guess that was a mid-year thing.

That's interesting. I would think the black tape would work better on the gloss black than the carbon fiber, since it would match better. I'll put my theory to the test at some point in the next few days.

I actually had the exact same experience. I though they were absolutely wrecked but what I'm actually looking at is the wrecked ppf. I think it would look a lot better if I pulled it off, but I'm going to try and maybe cut it back a bit and try Seth's tape fix

This is a fantastic idea! Edit: Which tape did you use? Just black electrical tape?

Awesome and informative post, thank you. OP, I scuffed up mine as well and agonized over it. I decided to just leave them alone because I figured it would inevitably happen again, and lo and behold it has, several times. If I were to do something about it, I would probably take them off, sand...

Nice.

You callin' me a jive turkey???

I got mine there and the building is actually pretty cool.

Wow, they're killing Electric Blue (i.e. the best color)??? Though at least now it looks like they're offering a real bright red. I wonder if I had chosen that if it was an option at the time.

Lol no problem, happy to help. I love electric blue

My profile picture (or any stock photo of the car) can show you the before, but here's the after. I think it's 45 in the front and 20 in the back, since the baby rides back there.

I hate when that happens!

"I was just rolling through town at 6mph as a participant in a local float parade , when suddenly..."

Did the Spring Mountain thing this past weekend and it was awesome. Didn't set the track on fire (I think my best time was a 1:26 or something) but had a great time and met some cool Blackwing folks. Definitely gave me the bug for wanting to take my car to the track. When I hopped in the car to...

Excellent bit of trivia right there. I remembered that about the tires on the GXP, but not the other two

This is the correct answer. In my experience, the only ventilated seats I ever experienced which I felt were actually good were in a Ford Mustang I rented once. I've experienced vented seats in my 4BW, my wife's old Kia, my boss's Audi and a couple others and they were all lackluster.

Who leaked my plans??

Yeah, I guess I could call it that. It just sounds like... ticking, in tune with the engine when going lower speeds. At highway speeds, it either stops doing it or I can't hear it.

Tbh I can't really hear anything. Mine sounds like a fast ticking, which ticks faster with the engine speed, but then goes away temporarily when I put in the throttle and the revs fall.
