Although, there appears to be very little interest in my tracking thread (strike that, no interest)…..hell, I’m undaunted. As of the 8th of August the 2018 718 EPA certification came through. My 718 is due to arrive on the 16th of August at the Houston Port…….Finally this process that started on the 15th of March is nearing an end……anything but quick!

Will post pictures for the one (person) or two people out there that are mildly interested.

I'm ready.....I told my wife the power washer was her present.....when I told her that......... I got the "look".

I have received the first few pictures of my 2018 CS from the dealership......I am still debating whether to add the TechArt wing II and whether to use one of the urethane films XPEL/SunTek/Llumar/3M (posted links below that although they are promotional pieces.....have some good information on the different films on the market, and a little history).

Here is a youtube video about some of the possible TechArt modifications as well:

How do you like the Sport-Tex seats after having some break-in time with them?

Hello.....I changed at the last minute to Leather interior Black/Chalk. The reason I changed is I felt the Blue seats did not go that well with the Miami Blue exterior. If had chosen Graphite Blue Metallic paint I think the Sport-Tex would have been the best choice. Though, I am very happy with the Chalk interior after 9 months, and it goes perfectly with the Miami Blue exterior paint.
