Congrats on that plate, it would get a lot of laughs up here where it seems any car over $28k HAS to have an AWD option these days - buyers are so convinced it'll save their butts in the winter (even though more than 1/2 of them don't bother with winter tires).

But is it real? Not seeing a registration year sticker on it....

Lots of states don't use front stickers.

Registration stickers only required on the rear plate in Illinois, and no inspection stickers required at all so the windshield is perfectly empty!

And yea, I just throw a set of winter tires on and snow becomes more fun than annoying :P

Brain fart there on my part - we don't use them up front either!

Great photo! Almost makes me long for winter with the current temp being 89 F.

The wipers look to have have almost perfect coverage from the driver's viewpoint.

Same place. In Japan heated seats is an option not standard equipment.

I like them too - if DGM is still a color, I may need to order a pair!

One thing that I don't like, and it may be because it's preproduction or something, is the fitment above the front lights. Looks horrible! May just be the angle, but that looks bad.
