What's included in the "Performance Package"?

I remember @Dallman mention forged wheels and carbon wing ... I could be wrong tho

 

[CTR39322]

Everything on that list is overpriced

 

[TypeRD]

Nitrogen - $199 ???
I would almost rather just hand them $200 than see that on my tab.

Paid 4K over and a $900 wheel and tire package. Tire package was optional.

I’m an enthusiast through and through and even though I’m anal about the way paint looks, I would always choose a well resprayed bumper over beat up PPF on a used car.

Part of the problem with PPF is that it always yellows over time (even if they tell you that it doesn’t) and wears out (to what degree depends on many factors obviously). So while the original paint underneath may still look ok, one needs to have PPF redone eventually to make it look good. The “self-healing” nonsense is all marketing. When enough debris hits the front end, every PPF tears and starts looking like crap.

Interesting perspective. Where there's an automotive web forum there will always be a PPF debate. I'm pro PPF and I have and will always apply it to any vehicle I care about. However, I don't agree with full PPF and don't think it's necessary on most vehicles. I know myself and the rock chips would simply bother me too much. Not sure there's a right answer here as everyone views the pros and cons differently.

Just closed my deal and took delivery today. Somehow managed to find a Unicorn.

MSRP with 4.5% financing. Added a few accessories but they were all of my choosing. Nothing forced.

That being said the dealer now has 14 more orders behind me. I put my deposit down about 9 months ago.

I entirely agree. Not to mention, certain rocks may cut through the PPF, depending on the brand, it may “crack” over time in addition to yellowing, and it will require replacement within ten years. It’s much cheaper to have a legitimate body shop fill and touch up the bumper every three years versus getting PPF every ten years.

Like mine did

Seen your car at the dealer when it came in on the truck. Looks good glad you were able to make a deal.

5K over plus cargo tray for CW. I’m happy honestly, the deal was pretty straightforward.

Can't blame PPF on that one. If the impact is great enough to literally dent the bumper, nothing will save you...

Yeah it must have been a decent rock. Not a fan of Colorado chucking down a sandy, salt mixture on the road that no doubt has these rocks in them.

I have ran into a ton of truck carrying gravel/sand on the highway. Seems like the windshield is a magnet for this debris. My front bumper has some decent dings in it as well.

I clicked for prices paid and I got sucked into a redundant debate about ppf. Stay on topic here peeps, Im still trying to finds a deals on a white ctr!!

And ppf front end>respray. I rather have a clean looking ppf car for 10 years, and respray if needed, which it most likely wont need. As oppose to a fugly chipped up bumper every year and a respray to end up with a fugly chipped up bumper again, needing another respray. Probably be smarter to just buy an extra painted bumper and switch it out like shoes and send the old to get repainted if your going to respray it every couple years
