Hello! New owner, eager to find interesting things!

[PhantomTaco]

How's it going folks? I've been lurking on here for the past couple of weeks since I purchased my GT2 in Snow White Pearl. Would have linked to a photo but there are restrictions against that for new users (I get it) so you'll just have to take my word for it .

Absolutely adore the car (with the exception of the US not getting the 360 camera :| ), but have been interested in looking around and trying to find a couple things:

* Discrete phone mount that doesn't result in long cable runs/blocking the center console
* Someone in the PNW that does ECU programming for the Stinger GT
* Nifty little convenience extras for my car

Look forward to hanging around and not lurking as much anymore.

Thanks, I've been thoroughly enjoying it. I was hoping to get the flat gray exterior color (Ceramic Silver) but had no luck. Was a funny story, I basically called every single dealership within 40 ish miles of me and told them all the same thing: Find me a GT2 in Ceramic Silver and I'll come in today and buy it. The next couple hours my phone was ringing non stop. Unfortunately, there wasn't a single one ANYWHERE

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. Congratulations on your brand new Stinger GT! What did the Stinger replace for you?

Then we literally have exactly the same car

Thanks for the welcome! It replaced a temporary VW Jetta ('11 I believe) that I was using for a while and ended up giving my brother. In terms of the last "proper" car it's replacing, that would be my '10 335xi coupe.

Ahh, the 335i! Yes... Love those. Did you tune it? I had a 2007 and ran a JB3 (same maker as our JB4 for the Stinger)...

I did have it tuned actually . It was with a JB3. I've been looking at those JB4's but I'm in a bit of a conundrum on a lot of modifications for my car.

Because I decided I wanted to build my credit, I leased the GT2. As a result, I'm not sure I want to do any heavy modifications to this vehicle, or spend large sums of money on cosmetic/performance upgrades because in a few years I may or may not keep it (depends on what the 2021/22 Stinger looks like as well as the rest of the landscape).
