Agreed - I usually buy my cars that way and then proceed to drive them to pick up a black leather sofa that was advertised on CL as being "gently used in a professional setting."
I know there's been a lot of talk about how much the MKV looks nothing like the FT-1, how it looks more like the 86, etc., so I thought it would be interesting to do some comparisons of the different angles of these cars to see how similar/dissimilar they actually are. Other than the headlights...
lol yeah... Japan is all about emergency preparedness, especially after the whole 3/11 earthquake and tsunami. A lot of people don't realize it, but in elevators in Japan there is often a little seat in the corner. These can look pretty nice - like a little leather ottoman or something. But...
Because the Toyota salespeople seem to be clueless about the car (see for example, the development of the OP's post in this thread). The logical extension is that the Toyotal servicepeople may also be just as clueless.
There are ways that they could've made it work. For example, see the image I've included of a way it could've been done with the C7.
To a degree that is true, but some liberties were taken with the new design that moved it even further away from the historical Corvette design. In any event, it's...
I keep hearing that, but many of the things that changed don't seem to have anything to do with the new mid-engine layout.
Also, for the record, although the Corvette has always kind of been perceived as a pensioner's car, I've actually liked the way it looked since I was a kid. I was really...
I think there’s a stark difference with what the Supra did and what the C8 did. The Supra is inspired by Toyota’s own design (the FT-1), which they basically teamed up with BMW to make an affordable retail version of it a reality. They co-developed with BMW because they otherwise wouldn’t have...
At the end of the day, I think some big turn-offs for me on the Corvette are:
(i) There's going to be a ton of them - Corvette typically produces like 30,000 of these things a year, so I suspect they're going to be very common.
(ii) It's commonly viewed as being an old person's car. (This...
Oh nice - I may have to look into that when I'm back in the area! :thumbsup:
I think someone else on here had a clear bra put on by TVP Auto (here is a video of it). I'm looking to have them put matte PPF on my entire car - they quoted $6,000 for Suntek's Matte and $6,500 for Xpel's Stealth...
Only the white and black LEs got the red interior. They all have the red side mirror caps and the # on the inside, but the red LEs got black interior (presumably because it would've been too much red).
Yeah that seems more like CYA on Autotrader's part that is meant to protect them and not so much any dealership in the event of a lawsuit. Assuming that it is an authorized representative acting on behalf/at the direction of the dealer to make that post and not some random third party that's...
I'm curious to hear what Xpel themselves say, but the shop I contacted that specializes in Xpel and Suntek said that the front part of the car would require some stretching since it's so big that the pieces they cut don't actually come in that size. As for the back of the car, they said that...
I have a question for you in the PPF thread - don't want to ask it in both places so I'm just pasting a link to it here:

(Basically, I would be interested to hear how you all differentiate yourself from Suntek...
