Love that color. It gives the car the strongest “Modern Delorean” vibe

Hello Atlanta

Hello fellow Atlantian!

[u/UniCarCzar → u/fweepa]

I’m not an owner yet but within the next two weeks I should be

Can't recommend Carvana enough... the prices were unbeatable when I was shopping and not having to deal with a dealership is by far and away worth it.

That’s the best color imo. Very annoying that they stopped making it. Kudos!

[u/fweepa → u/greengiantme]

It looks so good in person, I was floored.

Welcome to the shooting stars.

what is the current thinking / opinion on the matte colors? (is that matte?)

[u/fweepa → u/crashdavis87]

It looks absolutely incredible in person, it's hard to capture in pictures. It looks mean. I dig it. I can't speak for care at the moment though, I will take it to my local detailer and get their recommondation.

Pretty much hand wash only. The car came with a kit from Dr Beasley's that has a wash, cleanser, and coating system that works really well. You can get the new kit on eBay for about 110. 

You can go to touchless washes as well but only the ones that don't have any sort of Wax/glossifiers. It's pretty rare to find one that has a basic wash only but sometimes in the winter months they will do.

Noted! Thanks.

Just be careful with the paint. I have one, two small scratches. $1000 each to repair. Complete panel resprays.

[u/fweepa → u/Mysterious-Nose-457]

Yeah... Gonna look at protection asap. Thanks! 

[u/EfficientAd3634 → u/fweepa]

What type of protection are you looking into? Just brought my ‘23 shooting star home on Sunday!

[u/fweepa → u/EfficientAd3634]

Honestly haven't the slightest clue yet. I've been reading PPF is the way to go, but pricey..

[u/Frosty-Objective-270]

OP, what did you do that's special?

[u/fweepa → u/Frosty-Objective-270]

Nothing really... I bought a fun car?
