I stopped waxing the car when I realized how cheap and shitty the stock paint is. Oh well.

And the dings and dents... PDR saves the day, not to mention the sheet metal is very soft.

It's a bummer when one of the best handling cars on the market is so slammed it's just trying to avoid sticks and leaves.

I'm going to have some nice stories for my grandkids as we are being shuttled by some electric trolley..

Wasn't a criticism was actually curious. Guess shouldn't post in a rush!
Better way of asking was probably: How do you like it?

I bought a car to drive it and enjoy it; i's going to get nicks and chips, it's a daily driver. Why have a car you're so afraid of scratching you can't enjoy it? If I were driving a $400k car I'd drive it the same way.

The single exhaust I am happy with. As it gets some miles on it, it is starting to push the threshold of being too loud sometimes but that is completely subjective. Shout out to Nameless for making a quality product!

Thanks for the positive and negative feedback, I'm the only one who has to like it.

Where did you get the fill plate for your rear diffuser? I have a single exit exhaust also and would like something like this.

I made it out of sheet aluminum. Technically for free since I had everything on hand already. Just made a pattern out of poster board then transferred it over to metal.
