I ordered the materials off of Amazon. Large sheets: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008OIQEG4/ Strips: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BK9D89N/ Youtube video: Hope this helps!

Difficulty, for me, was not hard for the pieces of trim I did (all but the mirror). I would equate the difficulty to applying a stretchier screen protector on a smartphone. You're avoiding dust and air bubbles but you have the fault tolerance of being able to unpeel and re-apply. Thankfully, the...

Like others, I made contact with Tesla customer support this morning. The lady I spoke to (whom I reached through the orders part of the phone menu) had no idea what I was talking about when I asked about a refund. She put me on hold and when she returned, indicated to me that they would go...

$765 for satin black, single application

So yeah, I went into the service center after work today to confirm the service appointment and the rep basically said the call center people have no clue. Service appointment to install spoiler has since been cancelled and he told me to expect to hear from them in Q1. On a brighter note, the...

I took delivery on Sept. 29 and called the service center on a whim last week, which resulted in a service date of Oct. 24 to install my spoiler and badge. I'm in northern, VA and my SC is at Tyco Rd. I'm now curious to know if I'm going in for nothing...

I have a service appointment to have mine installed on 10/24 but I got the impression that were there openings prior to that, I could have had my spoiler installed sooner. This is in the northern VA area (Tyco Rd. location).

XTreme Audo Details are running what looks like a top notch operation in Sterling off of 606. I stopped by there and spoke to one of the owners (Mike). I got some estimates from them and their Yelp reviews look pretty bulletproof, FWIW. With that said, I've elected to do my own chrome delete due...

That's a good point. My son is in 9th grade and for the past few months, I've been feeling his car tastes out for when it's time. I keep asking him what he thinks of GTIs and he keeps telling me he doesn't like them. I expect him to want a Jeep Wrangler when the time comes since that's what all...

I'm 30 hours into ownership of a midnight silver P3D+. Like a previous poster said, just hang in there. It's so freaking worth it. And all the funny stuff with inspection, VINs, etc... I think Tesla's closing the QA gap in some respects. I had a 73xxx VIN with a build date of 09/18 and it was...

I don't know if that's a paint job, wrap, or photoshop but that blue is straight fire! What's the deal with those big name tag stickers?

I love hearing the different perspectives on this industry shift we're all living through. We can debate where we are in that shift but I think we largely agree the shift is happening. In any case, it's been about 30 hours since I took delivery of my P3D and other than my 340i being curbside in...

It did not. Virginia state-tax rebate up to $3,500 for electric-car purchase dies in subcommittee

I'm starting this thread as an outlet for catharsis for myself and perhaps others, so feel free to post your story. Soon, I'll call my local BMW dealer to let them know I am off their list for an M2 Competition and I'll get my deposit back. When my wife nixed my plans to get that M2C, I went...

Cross mine off the list. Ordered/configured: 09/14/18 Matched/VIN assignaed: 09/14/18 Delivery scheduled: 09/17/18 > 09/16/18 > 09/19/18 > 09/29/18 > 09/27/18 Delivered: 09/27/18 Delivery and personal inspection was uneventful, which was just how I wanted it. I am monitoring water in the...
