Looks great. The two tone black/ garnet red interior is gorgeous. Had it in my TT and loved it.

Great build and what a moment it must have been seeing that bute for the first time. I have a GTS Cab in silver with black leather on order with a delivery of Feb 2016. My wife nixed the red interior so I went black. Yours looks awesome. Can't wait to hear how she performs.

Very nice.

Black on the exterior with the black/garnet red on the interior complement each other well!~

A chance to bond and learn your car. Just a thought. Have Fun!!

breaking a car in on the highway is a bad idea

Why do you say that? I'm considering doing the pacific coast highway from San Diego to SF when I pick mine up. Curious.

It's just a plastic bracket screwed to the bumper. It came that way from the dealer.

probably because its "recommended" to vary the rpm and engine load during break in period, so sitting on a "highway" at a constant 65 will not provide that
variation...

having driven that route back in '07 from L.A to S.F ... varying the rpm will not be a problem .... ENJOY!

Looks like you are in the Hudson Valley in thoughs pics. Our gauges match up. I have a metallic white coupe. Located in lower Westchester. Congrats she is a beauty. Enjoy in good health.

Break in

Well, Express way all the way. I guess. I did not mean that you have to drive the express way. Even if you did the speed limit is up to 85 MPH in spots. Vary the RPM. Drive side roads. Would be nice to have some hills. In case some people that do not know it there are no hills in the Texas Hill Country. IMO if you don't lug the engine, vary the RPM and don't check the rev limiter you should be good. Break in is a fun time. Unlike dealing with the government you get back what you put into it. Enjoy!!!
