Agreed on all points.
Ceramic coat can be tricky, and its semi-permanent, so you wont have an easy chance to do it again if your first application is not perfect. Most important is to not get it wet for at least 24 hours after application. Shops can shorten that by baking it in their spray...
Same, dont see the reason to pay more for something that isn't what I ultimately want.
Going for wider lightweight wheels and some stickier wider tires once I burn through the stock tires.
I dont mind, the plan was always to go aftermarket. Was not planning on keeping those skinny stock wheels on for long. Part of the reason I didnt opt for the PP.
This isnt even a real car. The Z never even properly launched. I was shopping for one last May and dealerships still haven't got stock of the base models.
Makes the Mustang launch look great in comparison.
I added it to my order. After giving it some thought, it would be way better to have different exhaust levels then to be locked in to one note and noise level. Especially living in California
Not sure that one checks out. Tuning and civics have gone hand and hand for ages.
Built not bought!
No sense in PP if you will using aftermarket parts.
Yea not sure why he said no to the X-plan. He kept trying to make it seem like I was crazy for considering Granger for my order. Anytime someone tries to convince you that you shouldn't be saving money, its probably a sign to stop dealing with them.
I actually negotiated a 2014 Mustang at...
The Bose is good. It has a nice punch, but the mids are a bit lacking. There is also a "bose centerpoint" for surround sound output, but that is hit or miss from track to track so I leave it off.
The Mercedes Burmester had a surround sound function which really elevated the sound and felt...
I did. The rep I got, promised to text or email me with updates. Never did. Called/Text him on order bank day and didn't get a response. Asked about x-plan took 3 days to say no. Didn't send a quote when I asked. I was over it. I'll take some days off work and take a road trip in the new...
Yea, I hear ya. I'm making the trip from California.
All the SoCal dealerships I reached out to didn't even know the order banks were open on 3/27 and the one that did acted like they didn't need my business and would not do X-plan or anything lower then MSRP.
My experience with Granger was...
Audio is super subjective. I am not an audiophile by any means, but I do appreciate good sounding systems.
I have a 2022 Civic Si with the Bose system, and it is a decent system. My previous car was a 2015 Mercedes C300 and the Burmester audio was better, but it also had some weak points...
