    Were you able to get video? I'm having trouble taking out the center piece too with a pick.

    The definitive Hawk Brake Pad guide, with Low dust option

    Saw that https://fidanza.com/ has it for $312 +shipping (even though site says >$300 ships free). Though I'm not familiar with the site, so don't know if it's legit.

    +1 on the Address for meet up location prior to North Route start. Also, anyone know how the tour works? I've done organized ones for PCA where we roll out in specific groups with leaders. This one seems like it's every man for themselves, could be chaotic :)

    The definitive Hawk Brake Pad guide, with Low dust option

    Is the best place to buy these from hawk directly? Googling shows certain stores have some discounts. I'm planning on buying multiple sets, discounts would be welcomed :)

    Popping noise near subwoofer

    haha, I thought I was crazy too. Thought it was the door speakers and maybe even brake pedal, but sure enough random popping (especially coming to a stop) behind the driver's seat (no music on). Noticed this first day I got this car and still persist though only at 200mi.

    Blendmount for Emira

    Do you also run a dash cam (hardwired)? Curious since that USB is taken up by radar detector.

    Ok wow, I'm impressed. Xpel Ultimate Fusion

    Oops sorry, meant to ask about the rear bumper that I'm being told must be taken off vs most PPF shops do not to my knowledge.

    Ok wow, I'm impressed. Xpel Ultimate Fusion

    I just picked mine up yesterday from PPF. Went straight from dealer to PPF shop on a truck bed; there were bad swirl marks where PDI folks obviously try to clean up. PPF shop did paint correction prior to wrap (the black areas were the worst parts). Edit: to add I can not for life of me see...

    Aerie carbon paddle installed on i4 - Very Happy

    Thought about having a shop paint it, but it's like $250 or so. Not worth to do, haha.

    Aerie carbon paddle installed on i4 - Very Happy

    I, too ordered well before my car delivery. Wish they also offered aluminum/metal paddles instead (like the Porsche ones) since carbon feels out of place. I figured the satisfying click will overcome that :)

    PPF QUARTER PANELS

    How's the vent removal? I'm under the impression it's not as clean/easy as say a 718.

    PPF QUARTER PANELS

    My shop originally did single sheets but they said cars from earlier wraps started to lift due to the heat from the vents, so they opted to add relief cuts like a lot of other shops instead of using extra amounts of of promoter/adhesive (fear of paint damage if/when needing to remove). Can't say...

    How many Emira owners in SoCal?

    Congrats! Almost identical build as mine, just did the paperwork going through PPF. A/C was one of the things I checked and asked on mine, but I only really had a few minutes with it before leaving it for PPF. I've been reading through forums for over a year, there are posts about a new...

    If even dealers closer to port are delayed, seems to me something is amiss. Pinged my socal dealer again, said no updates :mad:

    Same! First was Christmas delivery, then before new years, then nothing. Been annoying trying to lock down time w/ my PPF installer with dates that never arrive. My VIN oddly was supposed to have gone to prod in Oct come with their Nov batch, but mysteriously didn't get built but had a VIN...

    Anyone on west coast take delivery from December shipments? Mine was on the 12/15 boat, dealer still has no info on transportation dates aside from cars already being invoiced :cry:

    Driving gloves?

    Not going to win any style points, but I love the dexterity and thinness. I wear these for another car with an alcantara wheel since I tend to sweat a little after prolong driving. Mechanix Wear: Tactical Specialty Vent Tactical Gloves

    Found this. Seems like his buttons aren't clipped in tight like some of the photos here, making it easier to remove (maybe different versions?):

    3rd Cat Delete and Valve Controller Opinion

    I did a good job saving my wallet and holding back on pre-purchasing pipe and controller during black Friday sales... told myself I'll wait a year in my car to see if I really want it (still waiting on delivery). Reading here how no drone and sounds can be controlled well is giving me regrets...

    Ah, maybe not then. They were half Magma and Verdant (7 total, 1Atlantis, owner was there). Doh, I thought I had taken a picture of post reveal, but I guess not. btw, can you share details (if you have) on how they handled transportation to one of one? I likely won't use them for PPF and have...

    Nice! Does GGLC accept non-lotus cars to participate in their events (track/HPDE)? My other half has a new car we joined its club, so would be nice to be able to drive our own cars during events :)

    @slimjim did you end up taking delivery? I was at the grand opening event where a handful were delivered. I just received my VIN, but wasn't on the delivery or built list , so hoping it's in mid-production 🙄

    Madtrace magnetic shifter is a must

    Looks great, still wish they offered alternative paddle materials instead of just carbon. Thar tune for the i4 DCT? I test drove v6 auto recently and found it a tad sluggish, could definitely use some help.

    UK PPF install - recommendations request

    yikes, even bad installers wouldn't leave edges lifting like that -- removal and refund for sure but I'd be extremely weary of the same installer removing it as to not damage any of the paint. Wonder if it's out of the question to have original installer pay for removal from new shop... Seems...

    To PPF or not to PPF

    Rock chips, swirls, and ease of washing is my main reasons doing PPF on cars. Then again I'm very OCD... I wasted $ doing a full front PPF on a leased car I wasn't going to keep just to avoid seeing rock ships :rolleyes: ... what ended up happening is the plastic bits got dinged up and those...

    Did they give you a vin and/or in-production notice prior to leaving factory and on a boat? PPF - I only have experience with Elite Finish and Films Unlimited, though dealer said all their Astons are done at One of One down the street. Very interested in if they have a special deal with the...

    PPF from factory that was not ordered??🤷🏼‍♂️

    Is the entire car PPF-ed? If so... curious how they did relief cuts around side vents. At first I was thinking they PPF the panels that could have the paint issue to "postpone" it or something, but that may be a stretch.
