You got the same interior pieces painted??

I'm really impressed how it looks, especially with that color.

I'm more of a silver/black/gray color guy, but that Blue does blow me away. The matching interior trim pulls it all together.

Hilarious. Much nicer than the standard Sport Design one.

Another blast of winter here in Toronto today but that didn't prevent me from picking up the car after the tint/paint protection film was completed. The tint looks a bit darker in pics than in real life, its about perfect to me though.

The drive back was a bit hairy at first in the deep snow but got fairly comfortable with the winter setup by the time I got home. Went out for a spin again this aft and had some fun... car went from zero to filthy in 2mins but not much I can do.

Winter mode enabled!

Great build. Particularly like the smooth leather seats and full leather interior. And that Sapphire Blue!
Take it you need to order vented seats to get full leather seats?

Thanks! I think you need to first specify the leather interior to get the full leather seats... at which point ventilation is an option. The GTS is a bit different mind you as there are a couple different options to end up with ventilated seats.

Went for another drive today, man is this car ever epic. Its still a mess out there but luckily the temperature has warmed up a bit so most of the snow is melting... have since dropped off the car with my detailer to get Opticoat Pro and leather protection applied. Will get it back tomorrow.
