Congrats!

Hope you post a review after you've had some seat time.

You got a mod list yet?

54Me · 04-19-2017, 08:06 PM

something about that left front quarter you just can't get enough of...
LOL more angles!

Jdubya · 04-19-2017, 08:11 PM

Beautiful, but first thing I would do is kill the dealer for putting on the front plate!

Almaretto · 04-19-2017, 08:14 PM

Congrats and Enjoy!

Hopefully it is clipped on rather than drilled.

I asked my CA not to put it in mine. Told me he always asks because he has gotten cursed out in the past!

Thanks for sharing these pics.
I have a Bluestone on the way and opted for the black grill as well. Looks super and makes me more comfortable with my choice.
Looking forward to your review!

I hear you on the front plate. I always tell them that if they drill my front bumper they can have the car. ?

Jdubya · 04-19-2017, 11:27 PM

I think I confirmed no front plate with my guy four times between when my car hit port and when it arrived at the dealer!

Jealous of you living in Hawaii! Enjoy your car!

Most states do. There are not many that do not; I am lucky enough to have residency in one.

brissim · 04-20-2017, 01:10 AM

Thanks for the photos - this bluestone is really growing on me.

Why have hey put a weird sized plate on? The area is for a wider narrower plate. Aesthetically works fine in other countries...

remmib · 04-20-2017, 03:39 AM

Congrats, and it sure looks great with black grills on Bluestone.
