Very nice! All was done well, personally I wouldn't have put the anniversary decals on, but love how thorough you did on the color swap and accessories!

Such a clean build and repaint. I had no clue earlier in the thread that color was originally AS.

Lol I couldn’t help it but easily removable just wanted to see how they would come out since they were made from a photo. I liked everything about the anniversary except the blue interior so this is my tribute.

Great shots of the build, I think the only thing it's missing is the carbon side skirts...I feel like they would really complete the look. That said, the attention to detail is impressive and the end result is a solid tribute for sure.

I agree 100% and more... meaning I didn't like the fact the anniversary had blue seats but moreso that the back seats are black??! Seriously, different color front and rear seats, ugh!

What type of exhaust is that? Is it custom?

yeah, it's a custom x-pipe res & 2nd cat delete... you can even see the guy next to the air tank who probably did the work. Very nice exhaust mod!

Yeah, resonator delete has a very distinct tone to it in aftermarket exhausts. I am getting tempted to delete resonators from my Invidia full catback. Maybe, next year probably.

How is the matte paint to take care of? Getting ready to pull the trigger on the 10th Anniversary but am getting nervous as all I see is negative comments on the upkeep and care for the matte paint.

I was reading information from the Chemical guys on a newer wax that is meant for matte paint, but having to repaint sections for a little scratch or stone chip is a little unnerving.

Congrats. So you decided to go with the 2019 Anniversary edition over the 2020?
