Very nice piece of machinery!
Funny thing, I still have a very faint line of adhesive along the back trunk, where that white tape was!

You would think they would polish that out no? Btw, is the rear spoiler suppose to be gloss black or carbon fiber?

Does the front end seem to sit kind of high? I wonder if they have those spacers in-between the springs to keep the front end higher to avoid scraping during shipment.

You would think! But you know dealers are never as picky as we are! I am extremely OCD! Plus mine was delivered during covid, so you know things were upside down.
Gloss black for the rear spoiler.
Enjoy your adventure and please share more with us when you get the chance!

Thanks for clarifying about it being the gloss black, I will for sure once I get it and give it a proper wash!
