Very happy to hear man. I saw your thread, I think I might finally go to the body shop now after worrying about the match on my WRB for weeks.

I also posted a little blurb on a WRB thread about what to look for. If it takes you any time to see the difference, call it good and get out! lol. Just leave well enough alone at that point. Funny thing is I'm a huge perfectionist, so the little color difference bugs me, but just like all the other imperfections in the car, they will be forgotten! Good luck with your car and make sure to post pics!!

I am the same way. I can look at my car from a distance and the match is perfect, but up close you can see the paint missing. I got sick to my stomach thinking the bumper paint would be uniform, but the rest of the car would not be.

Ultimately that's what it's all about... we love our cars, and love driving them. I quietly get a little bummed out whenever there's too many people going somewhere and I don't get to drive my car. I don't care that the backseat sucks, I want to drive!

EXACTLY! This is where I am right now. Negative, it's not perfect….positive, is't not perfect. In addition to the positive, it's now time to beat on her and use her for what she was designed to be….a damn fun driver's car!

The millennium falcon wasn't perfect looking either, but she sure could fly.

That is one of the most confusing, disturbing, and hilarious videos I've ever watched. I still don't understand what's happening in it and I will definitely not be watching it again. I will, however, be sending it to everyone I know.

I Techstreamed the doors (single stage unlock) and trunk (double tap open) and changed the buzzer volume to max. I still can't hardly hear it but that's my problem.

Then, I did the Stage I OFT. If there's a word I could pick, it would be smooth. I'm not going to say it feels super fast, my butt dyno isn't that accurate. But I will say it is much much smoother. And the pedal issue I was having that two folks commented on is gone and even better than it was before. It feels like it's actually connected to the throttle plate instead of merely sending the throttle plate suggestions via a megaphone or smoke signals.

Now, a question. Currently, I have my resonator still installed on the Mishimoto pipe because their dyno testing showed on a stock tuned vehicle, it made more power. Now that I'm running a tune, should I pull the resonator back off and install the optional plug they provided? @shiv@vishnu, thoughts?

I am gonna ship some of my interior trims and panels to JPM Coachworks tomr to get them Alcantara wrapped,
and order some other Alcantara parts too.

Now, it is time to redesign my interior.
