These gloves from CAFE Leather, monogrammed and all, are great.

You may want to consider gloves that can control cell phones and touch screens.

Just clean the alcantara every other car wash. It's not too bad to keep clean. If it gets really grimy the Sonax cleaner works awesome. (So does their wheel cleaner BTW)

I just can't do the gloves thing. Just can't.

Yea, I'm with ya. Unless on track. Exception to that rule was when driving my FFR Cobra. You can do anything when driving a Cobra! LOL Besides, that wood wheel with steel spokes, well, gloves advised. And since that car had no radio, let alone Bluetooth, that's why I suggested gloves with touch screen capabilities.

Gloves featured here in a fun video my son made:

My CGTS should be here in a couple of weeks. More parts arrived this week from Soul PP and Suncoast. Here's my list thus far:
TWL ducktail - thanks Pete!
Soul PP OAP; Soul PP valve controller; Clear side markers; Frunk liner; Trunk liner; Crest Keychain; Deposit and appointment for complete STEK PPF and windshield...
I still need to order a radar detector (leaning towards a Uniden R8) and radiator grills. I'm on the fence over changing the shift ****. And I'll wait to order a short shift kit (probably numeric) next year.

For those of you who ordered OAPs, did you wait to install them until after breaking in the engine? I'm thinking of waiting until the break-in oil change...

Where did you get frunk liner?I thought they were out of stock?

I had my OAP installed before delivery.

I thought it was the lid protector not a frunk liner. I just ordered a protector from Pelican. Too many close calls already.

Super nice. Looks perfect. Love the way it breaks up the lines, adds some contrasting colour to and already great looking Spyder. Nice job.

Love it! The Veloster N is my son's car.
Hyundai did a really great job.
