Finally my car is here

[Ruturaj]

I cringe, sir! And it isn't just because you have a licence plate in front; but because here in Utah we are supposed to have a front one; I do not; and sitting in our "mail to give to kids" rack is a letter to our daughter (who still has a lot of mail delivered to the house), from Salt Lake City, stating that she was recently cited in a parking area for not having a front plate; and the fine as it stands is $70, but will go up if she does not respond; and will be taken out by a collection agency if she does not respond after that. Rapacious basturds. And now I don't want to go anywhere near downtown SLC because some officious revenue cop is on the prowl.

I have lived in NY state and don't mind front license plate. But since I am in NC, I just have holder without a plate that looks odd.

Would it be helpful to get a stick of the OEM touch up paint and paint the tops of the plastic plugs so they'll be a bit more camouflaged?

Don't know but would rather leave it for now.

Yep, I got pretty similar. Costco I received was 3,467 below MSRP, the invoice is 4,230 below MSRP.

I got 3,500 + Remote start (if from factory 500 otherwise 500 + installation) + Cargo tray Seat back (125) + 600 above trade in value.

Wow someone did pretty good job.

I am not sure if I want to spend that much now as I want to get few other things done first.

Dealer is getting those soon. I will post a pic then.

Congrats, nice colour combo & well worth the wait, enjoy your new ride.

So far, my least favorite color on the Stinger is black. First time ever I like the white on a car more than black.

Black looks nice too, in pictures, may be not so much. In real white looks good too. Wanted red interior only, I didn't find ceramic silver attractive, red on red didn't feel like my type.

I saw the black Stinger on the showroom floor and out in the wild, just seems to mask some of the distinct designing the car has. The red, blue and especially yellow (which I wanted in GT2 AWD but couldn't find until after I bought my red one and that yellow one ended up being in the city I grew up, San Jose, California) really make all the designing stand out and the white certainly looks awesome from the front.

Regarding the remote start, I too have a factory remote start that requires an extra mini fob. The car only runs for 10 min and then honks the horn when it shuts off automatically(annoying) and not nearly long enough to get the frost off windows or warm the interior enough. Worse yet is that there is no "drive off feature" the car simply shuts off when any door/hatch is opened during the remote start cycle requiring a restart. BEYOND STUPID

I just got a black on black about 10 days ago, premium awd and the first upgrade was to tint the windows 35% and the rear hatch 25%. Its a real looker for sure, I've named the car "black beauty".

You can program your keyfob for remote start as well but with shorter range. Everything else does seems annoying.
