Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

[Haste]

Alright I'm thinking of getting a stealth PPF on the MSM to matte it out, get the calipers dipped gold/yellow, lower 1-inch, subtle carbon fiber accents. Yay or nay?

I'm also going to do the stealth PPF on MSM, I think it looks pretty sick and it's not like a wrap that won't last long.

It looks insane, every time I see it I want it more and more. Extremely unique as well I've only seen it one time in person.

Have you driven anything with a DSG/DCT, or one of the newer ZF 8-speed autos? They downshift quite aggressively... I've had them in the Trackhawk, and a couple of BMWs now (including the new Supra), and that 8-speed auto is absolutely fantastic. Downshift engine braking is just as aggressive as a manual transmission, and it will do it just as aggressively as I would with a manual if you're in full-auto mode, in whatever sport mode the car has. As for a DSG/DCT, drive something with a proper transmission like the M2 Competition and you would not be left wanting.

Just throwing it out there.

Compared to those 'full auto ICE cars', the M3P is downright boring to drive, unless you're accelerating.

I've driven a handful but have never owned one to really learn the cars. Cayman's, M5's, and a supra. My wife drives a kia stinger and it also has a zf 8 speed transmission. You certainly make a valid point, suppose my butt dyno went WRX -> M3P -> Stinger so I'm more accustomed to a bit more aggressive regen vs the engine braking.

On that note does anyone find that the regen bumps up another level of aggressiveness in track mode? Certainly might be a placebo but there is been a few times that I get thrown forward more then I'm used to while in that mode.

Ordered 2 days before you but same EDD. Our cars may arrive on the same day in Raleigh

Oh awesome. I need to figure out how to turn on signatures from this app, I can only see the signatures on a browser.

it's FL cous; too many old people which means too many accidents

Yeah, I saw a blue Rivian wrapped with the Xpel Stealth, and it looked amazing. The only problem (or another benefit, depending on your outlook) with the stealth wrap, though, is that it's a lot harder to hide imperfections. If they cut it a pinch too short on the edge of a bumper or something, you're going to have a shiny spot... With normal Xpel, you may not have ever even noticed it.

Over the last few days I’ve had 2 EDD updates, latest one was this morning - August 14 to August 25.

Don't forget to write your review. I posted a 1 star review on Wednesday and had a full refund within 4 hours. The work might suck, but at least they stand behind it. Hopefully they treat you the same.

Where did you leave the feedback? on their website? I want to try my luck, not happy with their work

Congrats to everyone who got a two week window. I have to say though I really don't understand how this works. I see quite a few people here receive a two week window who placed their order after I did. Hate to sound like I'm whining but I'm more confused than anything else.

website didnt adjust much for the month changing....

That's pretty narrow, you haven't gotten your VIN right?

Between my wife and I, we've owned 7 STIs, so I get it!

I've driven a Stinger GT, but actually the trans was the thing I disliked about the car. For something they're labelling as a 'sporty' car, I felt that the transmission was very much tuned for comfort. If I was in sport mode with the Trackhawk (ZF8), it would bash your face into the dashboard if you weren't paying attention while decelerating. haha
