Here's a pic from when it was in the showroom. It still shines this much, just difficult to see with phone pictures on a sunny day.

Looks great! I always liked the blue decals on the body. Kind of gives it an RS kind of feel.

Not sure if i am a fan of the windshield banner though.

Congrats on the purchase!

Decal usage is always an individual preference. I typically don't like decals, even on the new RS models. Mainly because they are in fact just decals. If they were painted on, then it would feel more high end and I think everyone would be a little more appreciative of the design. As it sits, they're just stickers which give them a cheap feel.

The decals on my car do make it stand out a bit, and I am really liking them the more I look at the car. It would also look great all white without the banner, but the decals seem to make it pop a bit. Personal opinions will always vary.

Well, one of the wheels showed up yesterday. The rest, along with the seats and harnesses are expected today. Can't wait to see the on the car. Going out to do a 'round town photo shoot Sunday. I'll post a new thread when I get the images.
